Undergraduate College Acceptances

You all were very good at helping my daughter feel as if the essay she was submitting was the best she could do. I think she felt that she put her best self out there and was very satisfied with her essays. The scheduling times to talk were perfect for a teenager.
- S.S., Mother of student who was accepted into UPenn, UVa, Boston College, and Northeastern

The constant emailing and Skype talks kept me focused and on track. It helped me realize what is important in the college application process and what I need to focus on more. Ivy Planners helped make my dreams a reality.
- A.K., Harvard alumnus, accepted at BS/MD and other prestigious programs

I am so glad that I used Ivy Planners my senior year. They took so much stress out of the college process all the way from starting a resume and thinking about different schools to perfecting my essays. Their knowledge helped me write strong, unique essays that I truly believe helped me get into my top choice schools. Their kind attitudes made the process seem less intimidating and made my whole experience more enjoyable. I liked that I could ask any other questions about the application process in general or about things like AP tests and SAT which I didn't know a lot about. The coolest thing overall about Ivy Planners was that everyone I spoke to was always really chill and took their time in helping me. They always made me feel like I was on top of things and that I didn't have anything to worry about.

Combined medical program (BS/MD) admissions

Prompt responses and critique of the essays was extremely helpful. You were extremely flexible and generous with your time...You truly made a difference in this process and I will definitely recommend you to others.
- Rao, father of student from Austin, Texas who was accepted into multiple BS/MD programs

I was extremely pleased with how convenient the mentorship process was. What worked the most for me was that everything was according to my schedule. I applied to nearly 30 schools in total, but it wasn't as stressful as I expected because I knew my counselor would be, and was, available at whatever time I needed him. His flexibility and receptiveness to my needs were probably the most important aspects of the mentorship process, and I am very pleased overall with how everything went.
- Former Ivy Planners combined BS/MD student from New Jersey, who is now a practicing physician

Responsiveness and patience in working with me and to also influence/manage my dad effectively to obtain results. While my grades, scores, and extracurriculars were above-average, at times I doubted if I could gain admission into very competitive accelerated BA/MD medical programs which have single digit acceptance rates. Ivy Planners was instrumental in helping me achieve my dream of gaining admission into three accelerated medical programs.
- VCU combined medical BS/MD student from Maryland

I think that Ivy Planners was very helpful when I was brainstorming and editing my essays. The comments my essays were very specific and unbiased. Also, the interview coaching sessions helped me feel more confident and prepared me for commonly asked questions at the medical schools.
