Extra-curriculars

When it comes to extracurricular activities, it’s not about checking boxes; it’s about showing your passions, demonstrating your commitment, and revealing how you’re going to contribute to the college community.

College Lists

Making a college list isn’t just a simple task of jotting down dream universities. It’s more like a strategic game of chess, with each move requiring careful thought and consideration. Students often overlook the importance of a well-balanced list and end up with a list full of “reaches”, underestimating the competitiveness of top-tier universities.

At IvySummit, we take a comprehensive approach to building your college list. We consider a variety of factors, such as your academic profile, personal interests, career goals, and the overall fit of each institution.
