MORE THAN YOU EXPECT.
EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED.
New Ivies offers a complimentary 30-minute consultation to parents and students via phone (or Zoom audio for international families) to learn about our college counseling services
Students are not required to join the preliminary call. This consultation is about how New Ivies can help navigate the highly selective college admissions process.
During the three-hour Strategy Session with graduate school applicants, we:
How you position your story to graduate admissions committees is critical in the admissions process. We’ll help you zero in on what story you should be telling, based on your experiences to date, and what story you should not be telling.
We’ll let you know which tests you should take (or take again) to optimize your case for admission to highly selective graduate programs. If you’re still in college, we’ll offer feedback on your course selection to better position you for admission to top graduate programs in your field of choice.
You’ll find out which programs you should have in your sights and which programs you should rule out based on your CV, college transcript, testing, and more.
The EmpowerImpact™ Program delivers individualized graduate admissions support structured to align with each applicant’s academic credentials and strategic objectives. Support may encompass a single application component or extend across complete multi-program submissions. The scope of work is defined on a case-by-case basis. Typical areas of support include:

We’ll help you craft a narrative that will wow graduate admissions committees.
As each program has its own unique supplemental essays, we’ll help you showcase your interest in each particular program. And, no, dropping the names of professors or classes is not a genuine expression of interest.
How you describe your work experiences and activities matters. We’ll help you craft a resumé that tells your story.
We’ll prepare you to tell your story in a compelling way that inspires admissions committees to want to root for you.
Simply asking professors or employers for letters of recommendation is how graduate applicants end up with generic letters. We give our students stories that they then share with their professors and employers so their recommendations become more powerful.
There are landmines throughout each graduate application. We make sure that our students don’t make the little mistakes that can cost them admission.
We’ll brainstorm activities and experiences that you can still get involved in to better stand out to graduate admissions committees. And we’ll help weave together your activities and experiences to date around a compelling narrative so your story is cohesive.
