Seoul College Consulting
Seoul is a city that never stops evolving, where ancient palaces meet cutting-edge skyscrapers, and quiet hanoks sit steps away from fast-paced fashion districts. It’s a place where tradition is never lost yet is constantly reimagined in the city’s architecture, cuisine, and culture. Known for its innovation, education, and global influence, Seoul fosters a spirit of ambition that runs deep in its students.
At high-paced institutions like Seoul Foreign School, Korea International School, and Yongsan International, Seoul’s students are busy mastering languages, learning about the past, and preparing to build a better future. They balance rigorous academics with leadership, creativity, and purpose, and when the time comes to apply to college, they aim for the very top.
At IvySummit, we work with Seoul’s students to help craft applications that are as dynamic and unique as the city they come from, making them stand above the competition and giving them the best chance at being admitted to the schools of their dreams. If you’re motivated to attend one of the world’s top universities, read below about how we can help you do so, and contact us today to learn even more.
Our Strategy
Having spent more than two decades helping students get into their dream schools, we’ve seen it all and picked up a lot along the way. The most important thing we’ve learned is that the applications with the most success all have one thing in common– they have the student’s individuality at their core.
That’s why, while other firms may try to sell you on a one-size-fits-all approach to the process, we believe that each application should be as unique as the student it reflects. To achieve this, our professionals take time to truly get to know their clients, allowing them to give better advice on how to craft the application. We’ll ask questions about your previous experiences, your current situation, and where you see yourself going, and we’ll help you convey all of this in a unique way through your application, drawing the attention of any and all admissions officers who read it.
Area of Excellence
Our team members are also experts at finding what we call your Area of Excellence. This is that particular thing, or those things, that noticeably set you apart from your peers. Whether it’s your skills in the chemistry lab or an uncanny ability to lead others to success, we’ll work with you to not just recognize it but to make it the centerpiece of your entire application.
We do this because even though colleges love students who are well-rounded, they are even more so on the lookout for students who are truly unique or gifted. Your area of excellence is what makes a college go from saying “I guess we’ll admit this student” to “We absolutely need this person on our campus as soon as possible”.
With IvySummit by your side and your area of excellence highlighted in a strategic and memorable way, the whole dynamic will flip. Come next spring, elite colleges will be lining up to convince you why you should choose them.
Essays
We’ll remind you– this treatment will only happen if your application is perfect, and that perfection begins with the essay section. Your essays are the most important part of your application because they are the only chance you have to communicate directly with those making the decision on your acceptance. It sounds like a lot of pressure, we know, but your essays don’t have to be earth-shattering. They just need to tell your story in a genuine and original way, providing as much detail as possible and allowing your unique voice to shine through.
However, all of this can be difficult to convey in a cohesive way, especially in just a few hundred words. But when you work with IvySummit, our experts will be there to help you every step of the way. From prompt selection to brainstorming to editing and more, we’ll help you use your essays to highlight your uniqueness, specifically putting your area of excellence at the center, and to truly separate yourself in the minds of the readers.
Extracurriculars
While your essays are the most important portion of the application, at IvySummit we believe that all sections should be used to their maximum potential. That’s why for your extracurricular list, instead of merely listing the activities and positions you held, we go further, using the few words we’re allowed to concisely describe how they all played a role in your high school experience.
Whether you learned specific skills, led your peers to victory, or helped others through volunteering, we’ll show how each one either shaped you as a person or how you impacted different people along the way. By doing so, we’ll demonstrate that you are more than just a good student, you are someone that will have positive effects on any campus you join outside of the classroom as well.
Shaping a College List
However, before we get to all of that, we’ll help you choose where you’ll send your applications themselves. Though this may seem simple in comparison to everything else, it is no less important, as your school list can make all the difference when making your final decision on where you’ll attend college. A bad list, and you could be forced to go somewhere that isn’t a match. A good list, and you’ll have your choice of the lot.
To ensure that you have the latter, our professionals will help you compare colleges based on every metric imaginable, assisting you in choosing those that most align with your personal preferences. Furthermore, they’ll factor in your career ambitions and personal goals while making sure your list has a good balance of reach, target, and likely schools. By doing so, we’ll ensure you have the best list possible for your situation, giving you the best chance of ending up somewhere that will truly become your home.
