Seattle College Consulting
Nestled along the glacier-carved channels of Puget Sound lies beautiful Seattle, a city as famed for its natural escapes as for its industry-leading enterprises. The home of fast-moving, ever-growing companies like Amazon and Microsoft, Seattle fosters greatness and has high expectations, most of all in its education.
With high schools setting the national standard for excellence like Eastside Preparatory School, the Overlake School, and Tesla STEM High school, the talent of young Seattleites is known by universities across the country. But with so many intelligent students, how can you stand out from the crowd?
That’s where IvySummit comes in. With us, the college admissions process does not have to be a difficult slog up to the summit of Mount Rainier. Our strategy, refined over decades, will make your journey as smooth as a ride to the tip of the Space Needle. Let us help you craft an application that will send you straight to the top.
Our Process
At IvySummit, we know that the prospect of college admissions can feel daunting. There are so many deadlines, essays, interviews, and more. How is one person supposed to keep track of it all?
Here, you don’t have to. Our dedicated team of professionals will be with you every step of the way to help you decide where you will apply, select the correct prompts, and make your unique personality shine through each and every application. We’ve been doing it for more than twenty years, and we are ready to help you achieve your dreams.
Taking Advantage of Extracurriculars
In high school, most everyone participates in some sort of extracurricular activity, from volunteering to playing a sport to leading the student council. But not everyone knows that a well-crafted extracurricular list is key to making your application pop.
Much more than just a list of things you did, this section is your chance to show college admissions officers who you are as a person through your actions, not just your words. At IvySummit, we know this, and we will help you turn this underutilized section into your secret weapon, gaining a leg up on the competition.
Essays
Writing college essays. A quintessential part of the high school senior experience, and one that sadly brings too many students unnecessary anxiety each fall. It’s arguably the most important part of your application, a direct opportunity to show admissions officers who you are and why you deserve to be accepted to their school. There is pressure, yes, but with IvySummit, it can also feel like the easiest part of the process.
Our team has been editing essays for more than two decades, and we have thousands of hours of experience helping turn students’ unique experiences into bona fide works of art. However, this isn’t everything. Even with talented writing, if you don’t know what colleges are looking for, it could all be for naught.
But with so many years in this business and a team composed of former students and admissions officers from nearly every top college in America, we have the keys to success. Think of us like the Seahawks’ 12th man. We’re here to support you and make sure that each essay you submit is a guaranteed touchdown.
Area of Excellence
Part of our process here at IvySummit is finding what we call your area of excellence. Colleges today are no longer looking for students who are good at every subject or participated in every single activity in high school. They want to see what makes you different: your area of excellence.
Whether you are the reincarnation of Albert Einstein, excelling in Physics and Mathematics, or the next Abraham Lincoln, leading your debate and mock trial teams to state championships, at IvySummit, we will work with you to find this area of excellence and make sure each aspect of your application revolves around it.

Shaping a College List
Another key aspect of our services at IvySummit is the assistance we provide you when deciding to which colleges you should apply. Our philosophy is that choosing your schools is not just about which ones your friends are applying to or which are better ranked, it’s about finding a combination that is ambitious, balanced, and reflective of your personality.
Whether you are drawn to smaller liberal arts schools with more rural surroundings or huge, urban campuses with more activities each week than stars in the sky, our deep knowledge of schools’ characteristics, difficulty, and environment will help you craft the ideal list.
At IvySummit, we pride ourselves not only in our ability to help shape your perfect college list but in our confidence that, with us by your side, you will soon receive an acceptance letter to the school of your dreams. Contact us today and let’s begin this journey together.
