Suzhou College Consulting
Welcome to historic Suzhou, China, a fast-growing, bustling center of manufacturing and trade that also happens to be one of the most beautiful cities on earth. From its winding canals to its Classical Gardens to the top of Tiger Hill, Suzhou is a place like no other, and this uniqueness carries over directly to those who call it home.
An incredible mix of people whose families have lived there for millennia and those who have come recently in search of opportunities, the residents of Suzhou certainly have at least one thing in common: a high priority placed on education. Home to some esteemed universities in its own right, the city is also known for its outstanding high schools like the Suzhou Singapore International School, Dulwich College Suzhou, and EtonHouse International School Suzhou that send students to top colleges in the US and around the world.
However, with all of this excellence comes stiff competition, which means that you must find a way to make yourself stand out. This can be difficult, especially if you’re not familiar with the system, but luckily, IvySummit is here to help. Our team of professionals is ready to guide you to success in college applications, setting you up for an even brighter future. Learn more about what we have to offer below.
Our Process
At IvySummit, we are not ordinary college consultants. We are an experienced team of college application professionals composed of individuals hailing from top universities across the globe including former admissions officers themselves. We know how to get you into your dream schools, and we’ve got the results to back it up.
We credit our success to our process which rests on our belief that each student is unique. Our job is to help them highlight their uniqueness in each application, underlining the characteristics that make them special as much as possible. We begin by getting to know you, listening to your life experiences, then we work with you to help turn these experiences into the best essays, interview answers, and overall application imaginable.
High School Timeline Planning
If you don’t know already, we’ll let you in on a secret. Preparing for college applications does not begin the day you start looking at your first essay prompts, nor when you first think about where you’ll apply.
No, it begins much earlier. Where you decide to attend high school, which courses you pursue, and what activities you participate in all matter for your future application. These decisions are important, but it can be difficult to know the right path to take. That’s why here at IvySummit, we provide tailored high school timeline planning services to ensure that you are on track to success.
We know what top colleges and universities want to see, and we can help you make all of these decisions ahead of time so that, when the time comes, you are exactly who they’re looking for. No matter what areas you’re interested in, there are ways to improve your chances early on, and we’re here to help you do so.

Shaping a College List
Shaping a college list may seem simple, as rankings and school-published materials are prevalent on the internet, but basing your application decisions on these alone is a risky game. They tend to be biased, with schools promoting themselves over others, and they rarely provide accurate information about the experiences of students at the universities.
That’s why we help you shape your college list by sharing our unbiased, in-depth knowledge regarding each university you’re curious about. Our experts have been doing this for years, and they’re extremely familiar with the schools, their programs, cultures, and more.
We will help you build a list that is tailored to your desires and balances your high ambitions with the reality of college admissions by blending “reach” schools with targets and safeties. With us by your side, you’ll have the best chance of admission to each university you apply to.
Essays
Everyone will tell you that your essays are the most important part of your application. They are right. Much more so than numbers on a page, the essay section is where you show the admissions officers who you are.
But this can be difficult, and many students miss out on opportunities because their essays are too dense, too rigid, or they just generally did too much. At IvySummit, we know that the best essays are the ones that show who you are through a story, weaving in personal details and motivations in a creative, strategic way.
How do you do this? It can be tough. But with our professionals helping you choose the right prompt, narrate the best story you have, and edit the essay to perfection, it can feel easy. Contact us to learn more about how to write your best college essay today.
Extracurriculars
Lastly, the most underrated part of your application: extracurriculars. This is where you tell the colleges what you’ve been doing your whole life outside of school. But, importantly, in a good application, this section is not just a standalone list of sports and clubs you were a part of. Rather, it’s a collection of activities that have shaped you into the person you are today.
At IvySummit, we specialize in showing exactly how your extracurriculars connect to your overall profile. In this portion, we will highlight your unique skills and show how you’ve made an impact on the communities in your life, and we will use it to push your application over the top. We’ve been using the extracurricular section to help students receive acceptance letters from their dream schools for more than twenty years, and we’re excited to help you do the same.
