Tianjin College Consulting
Sitting on the Yellow Sea’s beautiful Bohai Bay lies Tianjin, a port metropolis with a storied political and economic history that remains one of the most important cities in China. Known for the Tianjin Eye ferris wheel and for its European-inspired five great avenues, it is also revered for its education. The birthplace of China’s first modern universities, today Tianjin is a key contributor to global scientific research, and its secondary education system is one of the best in the country.
Led by institutions like the Tianjin International School as well as the International School of Tianjin, Tianjin high schools consistently send students not just to the best universities in China but to top colleges around the world. But when it comes to applying to American colleges, the process is long and difficult, even for the best student. Similar to Tianjin’s Goldin Finance 117 skyscraper, if you don’t have a good plan or if you fail to execute it well, you risk being unable to finish the job.

Our Strategy
At IvySummit, we know the college admissions process better than anyone else, and we know that it can be challenging to take on alone. That’s why we offer a number of services to prepare you for and guide you through every step of the process.
Though other college admissions consultants may claim to have a one-size-fits all strategy to guarantee your admission, we at IvySummit believe that each student’s application must be as unique as they are. That’s why the first thing our professionals do when they join your team is simply get to know you. We want to understand the person you are today and how this has been shaped by your life experiences. From there, we’ll help you tell your story through your application, strategically highlighting what makes you special and what we know that colleges want to hear.
High School Timeline Planning
Believe it or not, the path to being accepted to a top university does not begin when you start the college admissions process. It begins much earlier, encompassing everything that you do in high school and even before. Every decision you make– from which classes you take, activities you participate in, and even which high school you attend– matters when applying to the best of the best.
That’s why we offer high school timeline planning services to help our students and their families make the right decisions to set them up for success. From giving advice on which subjects or extracurriculars look the best down the road to preparing your student for standardized tests or language exams, we’re here to help. If you’re thinking about the future and want to ensure that you’re on the right path, reach out to learn more about our pre-application offerings today.
Building a College List
Deciding where you want to go to college can feel easy, and you probably already have a dream school or two in mind. However, deciding where you should apply to college is a process that requires much more thought, and it is one of the utmost importance. Your college list can make or break your application season, but it can be tough to make those decisions alone.
Luckily, IvySummit is there to help you build a college list that maximizes your chances of admission at every school you apply to. We’ll help you form a list that matches your preferences on everything from location to size to culture, and we’ll ensure that it balances your ambitions and reflects your academic profile. Our experts know these schools better than anyone else, and they’ll make sure your college list is exactly what you’re looking for.
Essays
I am sure you’ve heard that essays are the most important part of your application– you heard correctly. More than your GPA or even your grades, college admissions counselors look to your essays to decide whether you belong in their student body. They want to learn about your life story, what separates you from the average applicant, and your plans for the future.
It can be hard to navigate all of this, especially since these essays are often just a few hundred words, but here at IvySummit, we know the keys to an outstanding college essay, and we’ll make sure that each one you submit immediately catches the eye of anyone who reads it. Together, we’ll make sure you choose the best prompt for your situation, brainstorm life stories to tell that embody your character, choose the best ones for each essay to creatively and strategically show all of the best parts of you, and ensure that each of them is edited to perfection.
We know it can feel daunting, but with IvySummit on your side, it’ll feel like a breeze. When you’re ready to get started, we’ll be here ready to help you to the top.
Maximizing Extracurriculars
In addition to the essay portion, it’s important to continue developing your narrative in other parts of your application, and nowhere is this more true than in your extracurricular section. Here, you’ll list the activities that you’ve been a part of outside of class throughout high school, explaining what you did and the role you played in each.
The average applicant will write a short description and maybe mention the position they had within the club or team, but at IvySummit, our applicants are anything but average. In your application, we will maximize your extracurricular section, including as much information as we can in the number of characters that we’re allowed. We’ll use them to shape your overall profile, showing admissions officers how you positively impacted your extracurricular communities and how you will do the same on their campus. By doing so, we’ll take your application to the next level, putting you above the competition and giving you the best possible chance of admission.
