For the entering class of 2006, admission to Ivy League universities will be more competitive than ever. Top schools will likely reject 80-90% of all candidates, including many with perfect grade point averages and test scores. How do they decide who gets in? Many applicants would kill to know the admissions "secret," the competitive edge that can help them gain acceptance.

In such a talented pool of applicants, exceptional writing (in a persuasive, well-conceived essay), augmented by credible third-party reference letters, often makes the difference between acceptance and rejection. Surprisingly, few applicants realize the importance of these factors in the evaluation process. Rather than write a compellling personal statement, they simply rehash their achievements in a boring, laundry-list style, leaving the impression that they are dull academic machines. Others don’t know what the committee is seeking, so they decide to "play it safe" by submitting a generic essay that could have been written by anyone. Sadly, these half-hearted efforts rarely open the coveted Ivy League doors.

Fortunately, we can help. IvyLeagueAdmission was created by a team of Ivy League graduates who have served on over seventy admission committees for law school, medical school, business school and undergraduate programs. Through this experience, we have acquired a thorough understanding of the selection process and the challenges that candidates face to compete in such an exceptional pool of applicants.

Our mission is to offer specific guidance to medical school, business school, law school and undergraduate candidates on all aspects of the admissions process. We understand the factors that influence the critical acceptance/rejection decision, including the importance of the admissions essays and reference letters. We also know the most common (and preventable) mistakes that will ruin an applicant’s chances.

We created IvyLeagueAdmission as a courteous, efficient, cost-effective resource for clients who want to submit an exceptional application to the nation’s top programs. The lifelong benefits of an Ivy League education are enormous; let us help you attain your professional and educational dreams!
