Monaco College Consulting
Welcome to Monaco, a place where the bright Riviera sun meets sky-high ambition. Despite its size, this sophisticated city-state, home to dazzling yachts, tight Grand Prix turns, and a thriving international community, leaves a global impression. Beneath its glamorous surface lies a deep commitment to education and multicultural exchange that makes Monaco one of the world’s most interesting places to grow up.
At schools like the International School of Monaco and the British School of Monaco, students are educated in a setting that’s both worldly and extremely community-oriented. They move seamlessly between languages and cultures, balancing the demands of rigorous academics with extracurriculars that span everything from marine biology to entrepreneurship. In this dynamic environment, young Monegasques and expats alike develop confidence and adaptability with an unmistakable global flair.
At IvySummit, we specialize in helping Monaco’s students turn their life story into polished college applications that stand above the competition. Our incredible team of admissions experts will work with you to transform your academic history and perspective into a compelling narrative worthy of the world’s best universities, Monaco style.

Our Strategy
Just like Monaco itself, at IvySummit, we believe that each student is unique and that their college applications should reflect this. That’s why we take a personalized approach to admissions consulting, tailoring our advice to each student and their individual experience. To do this, we begin by getting to know you, learning all of the critical information that we will eventually help you include in your application. Then, wherever you are in the process, we’ll help you navigate every step along the way. From test prep to essay help to interview coaching, we’ll be there for your whole journey, and we can’t wait to get started.
Strategic High School Timeline Planning
Getting into the world’s best universities is something that starts long before applications open in the fall of the last year of high school. Decisions that are made as early as middle school, such as which high school to attend, curriculum to pursue, and activities to join, can make a significant impact when the time comes to fill out applications. That’s why IvySummit offers high school guidance services to ensure that students and families are making the right decisions from the very beginning to set themselves up for success.
Our professionals will help you craft a personalized high school timeline that incorporates your student’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, and aspirations with the end goal of elite college admission in mind at all times. We’ll make sure that you maximize your time, tests, activities, and more, giving your student a significant advantage when application season begins.
Extracurriculars
We believe every part of the college application is important, and the extracurricular activities section is no different. Though some people overlook it because of its tight word constraints, IvySummit students know that this portion can be their secret weapon.
That’s because, with our help, each activity will not simply be another line on your resume, it’ll be an interconnected piece of your overall narrative, all of them showing how you have become the amazing person you are today. By concisely describing your accomplishments, impacts, and lessons learned, we’ll maximize this section like every other, using it to demonstrate that you will be a positive presence on any future campus you join.
Forming a College List
Though choosing where to apply to college may seem easy, forming a good college list takes serious time and consideration. At IvySummit, we always say that the most important aspect of a list is balance. All universities are different, so your list should balance your preferences about things like school size, campus culture, location, and more. But more than just the surface-level characteristics, a good list balances your ambitions both in the classroom and beyond. Finally, a great list balances reach, target, and likely schools to give you the most options after you finish receiving all of your acceptance letters in the Spring.
This process isn’t easy, but it is key. That’s why our IvySummit professionals will help you craft a personalized, balanced list that maximizes your chance of admission to the schools of your dreams.
Essays
Finally, the most important part of any college application, your essays. A bad essay can cause college admissions officers to move on from your file quicker than the racers at the Monaco GP, while a good essay can make your application shine brighter than the paparazzi flanking the finish line. But what makes a good college essay?
While some people may tell you that your college essays need to be groundbreaking works of literature, the truth is that highlighting your own unique experiences in a compelling way is usually all it takes. This starts with a solid personal statement that uses anecdotes and storytelling to strategically and subtly demonstrate your best characteristics, and it is complemented by varying supplemental essays that fill in the rest.
Obviously, it is easier said than done, but with our IvySummit essay team helping you along the way, writing your essays doesn’t have to be this stressful ordeal that everyone says it is. Our experts will be there to help you choose prompts that fit your situation, brainstorm the best possible responses, and execute on your ideas in the most creative way possible. With our help, you’ll write essays that will catch the eye of every admissions officer who reads them, putting you on the straightaway to an acceptance letter from everywhere you apply.
