Ivybound’s College Admissions Services
Our services are divided into two major components of the college application process. Both constituents are building blocks to craft a strong college application and empower you to become a candidate that the colleges cannot resist. With all the necessary steps followed, you will be a sure admit to the colleges that are the “best fit” for you!
College Pre-Application Planning
For Freshmen, Sophomores & Juniors
Most people forget that Grades 9, 10, and 11 are important years to build what is required to be written in the application– the classes you choose, the right set of extracurriculars, summer activities, and most importantly, do you demonstrate an academic passion?
IvyBound Advisors will work with you to create your personalized Pre-Application Program, consisting of:
Create a well thought-out plan for when to take SAT/ACT exams, SAT Subject tests, and AP/IB exams (if applicable) so that the student is not pressured in 11th grade to take all tests.
College Application Preparation
For Seniors
With three years (grades 9, 10, 11) of planning and preparation, the student (grade 12) is well prepared for the college application process. We will hone in on the student’s specific needs to create a powerful application that enables them to stand out from the rest.

Hear from our students and their parents
Ruchi’s students and their parents call Ruchi, “An admissions advisor who goes the extra mile to give me personal attention and ensure me the best possible admissions outcome.”

Ruchi helped my daughter edit her essays. She was very prompt in providing in-depth feedback, all of which was very targeted. Her feedback applied to the school she helped my daughter with specifically, which helped her break out of the generic supplemental essay model which we found my daughter sliding into. Ruchi also helped my daughter edit her main Common App essay. Her feedback on that was invaluable and got to the heart of the purpose of the Common App and what is most effective for a personal statement. Ruchi gave us individualized attention and was accessible throughout the process. My daughter was admitted to her top choice, Columbia University, so Ruchi’s assistance was valuable!

Last year, I didn’t know college consultants existed.
A year later, I requested a consultation with Ruchi to ask basic questions, get an understanding and try to map it out myself. I immediately felt calm, connected and acquired lots of information. Shortly after leaving her office, I realized that I couldn’t do this process without her nor want to. As a single mom, I want to hold onto the special relationship I have with my son. I want these last two years to be as harmonious as possible. Having someone qualified, intelligent and thoughtful will help keep the peace. Thank you. My son could not be in better hands.

Thank you IvyBound Consulting for guiding me to make a specific schedule for junior and senior year. It really helped in the planning process which will create a successful pathway for college, careers, and my future.
Thank you Mrs. Ruchi S. Kothari for sitting with my sister and I and giving us useful insight about the college process, SAT tips, etc. which we would not have been able to take advantage of. We also created a planned schedule filled with SAT dates, AP Exams, and more so it allows us to have ample time to prepare and do our best.
