Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia College Consulting
In Kuala Lumpur, where minarets and skyscrapers overlook historic temples and vibrant night markets, ambitions are as high as the heat index. This dynamic capital of Malaysia is a city where tradition meets technology, a cultural crossroads, and a hub of education, home to students with global perspectives who dream big about the future.
Attending institutions like Alice Smith School, The International School Kuala Lumpur, and Garden International School, these KLites are meticulously preparing to make their mark on the world stage. That’s why, when applying to universities, Kuala Lumpur’s students aim solely for the best of the best. However, turning aspirations into acceptance letters is difficult. With so many deadlines and requirements coupled with so many bright students competing for relatively few spots, the pressure can often feel overwhelming.
But that’s where IvySummit comes in. We’re a team of dedicated professionals who have been helping students craft perfect college applications for decades. We know the ins and outs of the process, and our experts will guide you through it with ease and help turn your dreams into reality. Contact us today to get started.
Our Strategy
At IvySummit, our strategy is centered entirely around our clients and rests on our fundamental belief that each student’s profile is unique. That’s why, instead of trying to make our students’ applications fit a predetermined template, we focus on simply making their best individual characteristics stand out.
To do so, we take the time to get to know our clients, asking questions about their life experiences, motivations, goals, and everything in between. This helps us see the whole picture of your life and allows us to help you tell your full story through your application.
Building a College List
Part of getting to know you involves figuring out your preferences when it comes to the ideal college. Would you prefer a big school or something more cozy? Do you prioritize a good campus social life? Or is a rigorous academic culture more your vibe? Whatever the case, our experts have extensive knowledge about each potential choice, and they’ll help you find the schools that best fit your taste.
However, building a college list involves more than just preferences. It’s about compiling a group of universities that balances your preferences, ambitions, and goals. But don’t worry. Together, we’ll find the combination that maximizes not only your chances of admission to your dream schools but the likelihood that you fall in love with wherever you end up attending.
Area of Excellence
As we mentioned, we know that each of our clients is unique, but even further than that, we believe that every single one of them has what we call an Area of Excellence. This is that something special in your profile that makes you truly stand out from your peers. Whether you’re the most dedicated volunteer in your school or have already published groundbreaking research, everyone’s got one.
Once we figure out what it is, we’ll work with you to make it the centerpiece of your application. We do this because while colleges are always looking for well-rounded students who can do a little of everything, they are even more so searching for people who will bring something unique to campus. We know that you fall into both categories, and we specialize in tailoring your application to make admissions officers believe the same.
Extracurriculars
At IvySummit, we believe that the extracurricular section is the most overlooked part of the college application. Since there’s a strict word limit, most students assume they can’t do more than plainly describe the activities they’ve been a part of throughout high school. But IvySummit clients are not “most students”.
Our clients know that, despite the word limit, the extracurricular section can be a powerful tool in shaping your overall narrative. Concisely but with detail, together we’ll describe exactly how these activities shaped your journey and how you had a positive impact on the communities that you were a part of. That’s how, with IvySummit by your side, this portion of the application will become your secret weapon.
Essays
On the other hand, something that isn’t overlooked by anyone is the importance of the college admissions essay, and for good reason. Your essays are where you have the chance to write directly to the admissions officer and convince them that you’re worthy of acceptance. On top of your GPA or your standardized test scores, your essays are what truly can make or break your application.
It’s a lot of pressure, we know, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. The best essays simply tell your own unique story in a compelling way. While it’s easier said than done, our professionals have been helping students doing so strategically and creatively for years. They’re here to help you brainstorm the ideal anecdotes, choose the best prompts, and edit your essays to perfection.
With IvySummit, your essays don’t have to be a source of stress. Still curious about our services? Reach out to learn more and begin your college admissions journey today.
