Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam College Consulting
Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City, the largest metropolis in Vietnam as well as the economic and cultural center of the country’s south. From its ancient temples to French colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers, HCMC is a place where tradition meets turbocharged ambition. Renowned for its entrepreneurial spirit and global focus, it is also a rising star in education filled with students who reflect the city’s drive and vision for the future.
Studying at schools like APU American International School, International School Ho Chi Minh City, and Saigon South International School, these students are ready to change the world. That’s why, when applying for college, they aim for top universities all across the globe. However, with so many talented candidates, it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd.
That’s where IvySummit comes in. With years of experience and a team of college admissions experts dedicated to helping you craft an application that puts you ahead of the competition, we’ll be right by your side every step of the way. Together, we’ll help you gain acceptance to the schools of your dreams, putting you on the path to achieving your goals.
Our Strategy
At IvySummit, our strategy flows from our fundamental belief that each of our students is unique and that their applications should reflect this. That’s why we don’t claim to have a simple solution or template to follow that will guarantee your acceptance to all of the top schools. Instead, we focus on getting to know our clients– their strengths, weaknesses, stories, and goals– so we can help craft an application that reflects your incredible individuality.
Read below about the variety of services we offer to help you make your college ambitions a reality, and reach out to get started today.
High School Timeline Planning
When you apply to the world’s best colleges and universities, there is very little margin for error. The competition is fierce, and these schools are looking for students who have maximized every opportunity that has come their way. This is why it is necessary to put yourself or your child in the ideal situation as early as possible, but making the right decisions can be hard.
Which high school is the best? What activities will draw the eye of college admissions counselors? What classes should I choose? Questions like these can make or break your chances at admission to top universities, so it’s important to get them right. IvySummit can help. We know exactly what these schools are looking for, and we specialize in formulating timelines that set our clients up for success.
Crafting a College List
When the time comes to begin the actual college admissions process, we’ll be there for you, too. Deciding where to submit your applications is one of the first choices we’ll make, and though it may seem simple, it carries more weight than you may think. Like the students who form them, every college is unique, and finding a good fit can be difficult.
Lucky for you, our IvySummit experts know every school like the back of their hand. They’ll help you compare each of them based on everything from academic strengths to the quality of the food in the dining hall. By doing so, together we’ll craft a college list that balances your preferences, ambitions, and profile, giving you the best possible chance of finding your perfect match.
Extracurriculars
Though often overlooked, we believe that the extracurricular section provides an key opportunity to add depth to your college application. That’s why, instead of blandly describing the activities themselves, IvySummit clients seize the chance to detail exactly what role they played in each extracurricular and how they had a positive impact.
Whether you excelled at an individual sport, led a volunteer group to achieve its goals, or anything in between, we’ll help you tie each activity into your overall narrative while demonstrating the value you would bring to each school you wish to join.
Essays
Ah, the college essay– the most important part of your entire application and the number one source of anxiety for high school seniors. But it doesn’t have to be. At IvySummit, we know that college essays can be stressful, but with our essay writing professionals by your side, it’ll feel like a breeze.
They’ll be there to help you choose the prompts that best allow you tell your story, to brainstorm with you even when the ideas are hard to find, and to edit your essays to perfection. Together, we’ll use your college essays to creatively and strategically emphasize the best parts of your character, making sure you connect with the admissions officers and maximizing your chances of admission.
