Denver, Colorado College Consulting
Saddled between the Front Range of the mighty Rocky Mountains and the endless expanse of the Great Plains lies magnificent Denver, Colorado. Consistently rated as one of the most liveable places in the United States, residents of the Mile High City are all too familiar with excellence.
It makes sense, with a booming economy, world class outdoor activities, and incredible schools like Kent Denver School, Colorado Academy, and Stargate Charter School, it’s a great place to live and grow up. It’s also a place where, each fall, thousands of high school senior Denverites with ambitions higher than a 14er will apply to their dream colleges.
However, with so many components and deadlines to keep track of, college applications season can sometimes feel more difficult than going down a Double Black Diamond backwards. But it doesn’t have to. With IvySummit on your side, you’ll cruise through your college admissions like a fresh Blue on a powder day. Learn more about our process and decades of experience below.
Our Strategy
As an organization, IvySummit has been helping high schoolers across the world apply to college for more than twenty years. The reasons for our success are plentiful, but the most important one for us is our core belief that all students are extremely unique and their college applications should reflect that.
We take time to get to know each one of our clients, learning what motivates them, which topics interest them, and where they see themselves in the future. From there, we help you organize your deadlines and schedule, choose the schools that fit your profile, fine-tune your essays, and more. It’s a strategy that we’ve perfected over the years, and we’re ready to use it to help you get into the schools of your dreams.
High School Timeline Building
We know that high school life in Denver can be jam-packed. From watching football games to attending homecoming dances to hiking or skiing on the weekends, it can be hard to find time to plan for the future.
That’s why we offer our services to help you build a high school timeline that ensures you will be organized for college applications while still making the most of each moment. Whether it’s helping you keep track of standardized test requirements, discussing which extracurriculars will look the best on an application, or simply coming up with a schedule for success, we are here to help.

Essays
We know that living in Denver brings many opportunities, and these opportunities mean that you certainly have a lot of stories to tell. However, fitting all of your unique stories into just a few essays can be challenging.
But with IvySummit, it doesn’t have to be. We specialize in helping you choose the right prompts, in finding stories that convey the most important parts of your character, and in working with you until the last supplemental is submitted. We’ll ensure that your essays are strategic and compelling, making the best case for acceptance to every school on your list.
Shaping a College List
Speaking of your list, we believe that crafting the perfect college list is an important, often overlooked, step in the college applications process. While many students just base their list on rankings or where their friends are applying, we work individually with each of our students to make a list that is perfect for you.
Our team members, hailing from top universities around the world, are extremely familiar with the best schools, and they know exactly how to compare and contrast specific programs, different campus cultures, and various locations. They will work with you to answer any questions you may have and make sure that your list gives you the best chance of admission at each school.
Area of Excellence
A key part of our strategy at IvySummit revolves around what we call your area of excellence. As mentioned, we firmly believe that each student is unique, and part of this is knowing that each student has something in their profile that makes them stand out. Whether you’re an olympic level swimmer, a first-chair violinist, or a grade-A mathematician, we will work with you to highlight this area of excellence in each and every section of your application.
We prioritize this because we know that nowadays college admissions officers aren’t looking for students who were merely average at everything or who participated in so many different activities that they could barely keep track of them. They want students who know what they’re good at and will come onto their college campus motivated to have an impact. By highlighting your area of excellence, we will make sure that your application stands above the competition.

Extracurriculars
An important way that we highlight your area of excellence is by maximizing the effectiveness of your extracurricular section. Every school wants to know what you did in high school outside of class, but more than that, they want to envision what extracurriculars you will join when you arrive at their school.
They want to see future campus leaders, groundbreaking activists, and people who will make good friends. With IvySummit by your side, we will ensure that your extracurricular section becomes more than just a list of activities and that it propels your application to the next level. We look forward to hearing from you and getting to work!
