Phoenix College Consulting
Welcome to sunny Phoenix, Arizona, where the majestic Sonoran desert meets the innovative and driven mindset of the residents of America’s fifth-largest city. Famous for teams like the Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and Suns, the city is also known as the home of BASIC, America’s best public charter high school system, as well as many other renowned schools like Phoenix Country Day School and Brophy College Preparatory.
With high schools this impressive, each year the local competition for coveted spots at America’s best colleges and universities heats up faster than a July morning in the Valley of the Sun. These schools can only take so many Phoenicians, so how do you make yourself stand out?
That’s where IvySummit comes in. Our team of consultants hailing from top universities around the world is standing at the ready, waiting to help you get into the schools of your dreams. Offering everything from high school planning to interview prep, IvySummit will ensure that you’re ready to crush the college admissions process.
Our Strategy
At IvySummit, we have been helping students with their college applications for more than two decades, and in that time, we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned that there is no one way to apply to college, and each student’s application is as unique as what they have experienced in their lives.
We’ve also learned that to get into the best schools, you must make the most out of every single section of your application, from your resume to your extracurriculars to your interview. It can be hard to do this alone, which is why our team will be by your side every step of the way to help you through. Learn more about our process below, and contact us today for a consultation.
Area of Excellence
A key feature of our strategy is what we call your area of excellence. This is the part of each student’s application that makes them stand apart from the competition. It’s that special something that draws the eye of the admissions counselor, making them take a good second look at your profile.
At IvySummit, we make sure to learn as much as we can about you in order to help you find your specialty because we know that, while not everyone is a musical prodigy or chess master, every student has an area of excellence. We will help you highlight this aspect of your profile in each part of your application, drawing it all together and elevating your prospects to the highest level.
Strategic High School Timeline Planning
Here, we believe that when preparing to apply for the very best colleges and universities, there is work to be done even before you begin the actual process. When reading applications, admissions counselors are looking for students who had a tangible impact on the activities they participated in and the communities they were a part of.
This is why it is important to be strategic when choosing how to spend your time in high school. You cannot join every club or participate in every sport, but with our advice, you can be sure that you’re doing exactly what colleges are looking for. Whether it’s demonstrating your leadership skills on the debate stage or showcasing your knowledge at the math olympiad, we will help you maximize your high school experience and prepare for the next step in your life.
And, when the time comes to apply to your dream schools, we will be right by your side to help you along. Alone, the deadlines for standardized tests, applications, and more can feel overwhelming, but with IvySummit on your team, you will be ahead of the game. Check out more about our high school timeline planning today.
Shaping your College List
You may already have an idea of which schools you want to apply to, making a college list is often more complicated than it seems. While we know that you’re ambitious, you can’t just apply to the top schools in Arizona or across the country. At the same time, we also know that you don’t want to waste your time applying to schools you’d never actually attend.
It’s about striking the right balance between your absolute dream schools, schools that you feel comfortable will accept you, and those that most certainly will (and may even offer you a whole lot of scholarship money to go there).
With our team’s years of experience, we have extensive knowledge about each school’s pros, cons, programs, campus culture, and more, and we are ready to work with you to shape the perfect list for your college application journey. We can’t wait to get started.
Essays
Finally, the section probably at the top of your mind whenever you think about college applications: the college essay, the most direct opportunity to make your case for acceptance. From the broader personal statement to the most specific supplementals, each one requires something a little different, and it can be difficult to navigate them on your own.
But with IvySummit, writing your essays can feel like a breeze. We’ve been helping students tell their unique stories for decades, and we’ve mastered the art of doing so in an original, creative, and strategic manner. We help you highlight your best qualities while tailoring each one to the exact school it will be used for, ensuring you have the best possible chance at acceptance. Contact us today to learn more.
