Toronto, Canada College Consulting
Welcome to Toronto, a place where skyscrapers gaze over beautiful Lake Ontario and streetcars whisk residents through innumerable vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. An international center of finance, arts, and sports, Canada’s largest city is also a mosaic of cultures– a place where students grow up speaking multiple languages, thinking globally, and striving for excellence from an early age.
Attending schools like Branksome Hall, Upper Canada College, and The York School and studying everything from music to politics to computer programming, Toronto’s students are incredibly talented. That’s why, when the time comes to apply for college, it’s no surprise that they aim for the very top.
At IvySummit, we’re here to help make your ambitions a reality. With decades of experience helping students like you with their college applications, we’ll help you navigate the process with ease and make your application stand out more than the CN Tower. Learn more about our services below, and let’s begin your admissions journey today.
Our Process
Like the city of Toronto itself, at IvySummit we believe that every student is unique. That’s why our process begins with simply getting to know you. We will ask to hear about your past experiences, your current situation, and your aspirations for the future. By doing so, we’ll be better prepared to help you tell your story through your college application. From there, our team of committed professionals will help you perfectly craft each section of the application, ensuring that all of your best characteristics shine through.
Shaping a College List
You probably have an idea already of some colleges that you want to apply to, but shaping the perfect list is something that takes time. It’s about compiling a list of schools that factors in your ambitions, interests, and preferences for things like location, campus culture, and more.
There’s a lot to consider, but our experts know all the best colleges like the back of their hand. They’ll help you compare and contrast any university that draws your eye, and by the end, you’ll have a healthy mix of reach, target, and likely schools that maximizes your chance of admission to your dream colleges.
Intellectual Vitality
While we specialize in highlighting what makes each of our students unique, there is at least one thing that every IvySummit client will demonstrate in their application: Intellectual Vitality. This involves more than just having good grades or test scores, this is about demonstrating that you have a deep-seated love for learning that we know lies in every Torontonian student.
How do you do this? We’re glad you asked. Through your essays, extracurricular activities, and more, we’ll help you subtly but strategically emphasize this trait and ensure that every admissions officer who reads your profile knows that you are not just capable of handling an elite college-level workload, you are excited about doing so.
Essays
While every section of your application is important, your essays provide a unique opportunity to showcase your personality, values, and voice directly to those who will decide whether you are admitted to their school or not. That is why they receive so much attention and why it is imperative to make them as perfect as possible.
That being said, you don’t need to be Shakespeare, and you don’t need to change the world. Admissions officers look to your essays to see who you really are, and highlighting your own unique story in a compelling way is the best way to demonstrate this. It can be difficult, as doing so in a thousand words or less is not an easy task, but our IvySummit professionals are there to guide you to the finish line.
We’ve been helping students like you perfect their essays for more than twenty years, and we’re ready to help you do the same. We’ll help you brainstorm the best anecdotes to tell, select the ideal prompts, and edit your essays to the end. But more importantly, we’ll help you form a connection with the reader so they can see your true, best self through your writing, giving you the best possible chance to be admitted.
Extracurriculars
Your essays are not the only chance you have to craft your narrative. The extracurricular section, though often overlooked, represents another opportunity to add depth and detail to your profile that you may have otherwise left out.
Despite the short word limit, with IvySummit to help you along, you’ll demonstrate how you positively impacted the activities you were a part of and how you’ll do the same at the schools you wish to join. We’ll show how your clubs, sports, volunteering, and leadership positions shaped you as a person, and we’ll prove to admissions officers that you will bring out the best in everyone around you no matter what you choose to do in your free time.
