Taipei College Consulting
Welcome to beautiful Taipei, the capital of Taiwan and one of the most globally-focused cities in the world. With a rich history shaped by diverse influences, Taipei masterfully blends its unique Taiwanese culture with the best elements of international innovation. The City of Azaleas is also a hub of technology and finance, but perhaps above all, it is a city that values education.
Taipei is home to prestigious universities itself, but its incredible high schools nurture ambitious students who often set their sights beyond the island. Hailing from top institutions like the Taipei American School, Taipei European School, and Morrison Academy Taipei, these students know excellence, and they are laser-focused on attending only the best colleges and universities in the United States and around the world.
Yet, without a guide, navigating the college admissions process can feel as complex as wandering through the city’s bustling night markets. That’s where IvySummit comes in. We specialize in offering expert guidance to help Taipei’s brilliant students make their applications stand out and achieve their dreams on the global stage.
Our Strategy
Here at IvySummit, we pride ourselves on having a college admissions strategy that is as unique as our students are. We don’t have a single set of instructions because there is no one specific way to get into top colleges and universities. Rather, we tailor each application to the individual student we are helping, making sure they highlight their best characteristics and have a profile that stands out.
We explain the whole process to you step-by-step, ensure that you are prepared for every individual section, and guarantee that each aspect of your application is perfect. Our professionals have been doing it for more than twenty years, and we’ve got the results to back it up. We’re ready to help you join the list of countless other clients who have been accepted to their dream schools, so reach out to get started today.
High School Timeline Building
The college admissions process is similar to building cloud-touching skyscrapers like Taipei 101. To be able to reach the highest heights, you must have a good foundation, and to have the best application possible, you must lay the foundation long before you begin writing your essays. Decisions you make as early as middle school– from where you go high school to which classes you take to even what activities you choose to join– matter when you’re aiming to compete for spots at the best universities.
That’s why IvySummit offers high school timeline building services to help you map out your path to the top. Based on our decades of experience advising international clients, we’ll help you make these tough decisions, setting you or your student up for success beginning on day one of high school. Further, we’ll help prepare you for deadlines, standardized tests, and more, propelling you higher and higher with each step along the way.
Crafting a College List
When it comes time to actually begin preparing your applications, we’ll be there to help you with countless decisions, and one of the first will be choosing where to apply. Though it may seem simple, this decision can be crucial to the success of your application season. Choose the wrong schools, and you may end up being forced to attend somewhere you don’t love, but choose the right schools and you’ll have the choice between good, better, and best.
What makes a good college list? We argue that it’s about balance, finding schools that match your preferences as well as your ambitions. That’s why our college experts will help you compare different schools based on any metric you can think of– from cleanliness to the strength of the chemistry department– and craft your perfect college list.
Essays
After deciding where to apply, our attention will turn to your essays. We like to get started on these early at IvySummit because they are the crux of your entire application. Arguably more important than your grades or test scores, it is imperative that your essays convey to the college admissions counselors reading them exactly who you are and why you deserve an acceptance letter. They should tell your life story, how you’ve evolved over time, and what your plans for the future are, and they must do so often in just a few hundred words.
Nerve-racking? We understand, but with IvySummit by your side, you can feel at ease. We’ve been helping students like you with their essays for years, and we’ve got the keys to success. After getting to know you and your stories a little better, we’ll help you with everything from choosing the best personal statement prompt to perfecting the final paragraph of your last supplemental.

Extracurriculars
Though everyone knows about the importance of college essays, people often overlook the extracurricular section, but not IvySummit. In fact, we believe that this brief section listing your activities outside of the classroom can be your edge over the competition.
Instead of simply listing what you did and maybe your accomplishments, as most people do, we believe in using this section to shape your entire narrative, adding new information and bolstering your whole profile. We’ll show you how to demonstrate the positive impact you’ve had on your various communities, and we’ll turn this portion of the application into your secret weapon.
