Paris Admissions Counseling: A Look at our Process

Bienvenue à Paris! A city where croissants meet calculus and centuries-old architecture meets avant-garde fashion. Home to esteemed institutions like Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Lycée Henri-IV, and others, Paris has had a rich history of sending its top students to elite US colleges.

Just as Paris effortlessly marries the traditional with the contemporary, top colleges are scouting for students who represent this combination. They’re not just seeking scholars, they’re looking for those who balance intellectual excellence with vibrant cultural experiences that only a city like Paris can offer.

Now, translating this Parisian flair into a compelling college application can be tricky and extremely difficult to navigate without a guide. Fortunately, IvySummit has been guiding students for over two decades, simplifying the complicated journey to top universities worldwide. Let us help you turn your unique experiences into a captivating college application.

Our Strategy

For over two decades, our team of Stanford and Harvard veterans has been assisting students like you to infuse a distinct charm into their college applications. We’ve helped students translate their unique experiences, from vibrant café debates to introspective moments by the Seine, into compelling college essays that truly stand out.

Essay Help

The college essay – it’s not just another school assignment, it’s your prime time debut in front of the admissions officers. Think of it like the golden ticket that will make you stand out from the crowd. However, crafting this ticket to your future can often feel like defusing a bomb for some students, more so for international ones.

Don’t let this be you. At IvySummit, we’ve been turning those tough tasks into triumphs for over 20 years. We dive headfirst into your story, helping you bring out the unique insights, fine-tuning your narratives, and shaping your prose until it’s sharper than a seasoned writer’s pen.

Getting Organized

When it comes to college applications, organization is as crucial. It’s easy to lose sight of deadlines and milestones in the sea of forms, essays, and recommendations. But fear not! At IvySummit, we’ve mastered the art of creating a timeline.

Our tailored approach to your high school timeline aligns with your unique academic journey, ensuring that each milestone is met with the same precision

Let’s start creating your perfect timeline and lead your college application process to the fast lane. Ready to put your timeline on cruise control?

Building Out Extracurricular Interests

Extracurricular activities are the core of a well-rounded student profile. Unfortunately, many international students find their extracurriculars lacking a bit of zest.

Here, our counselors with years of experience will help you expand your extracurricular interests, giving universities a full-flavored taste of your uniqueness.

Take a quick dive into our process to find out more.

Building a College List

Building a college list is an art that requires a fine balance between aspiration and practicality. However, international students often struggle to strike this balance, often swinging towards extremes. They either aim too high, with only Ivy Leagues on their list, or too low, underestimating their potential and settling for less than they deserve.

At IvySummit, we understand the intricacies of crafting a college list that encapsulates your aspirations yet remains realistically achievable. With our expert guidance, we help you navigate the vast landscape of universities, ensuring you have a range of options that best align with your unique strengths and interests.
