Your Dream School
Is Closer Than You Think.
IVY connects you with verified mentors from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, and more — students who got in and want to help you do the same.
The game is rigged.We’re fixing it.
Many students lack access to personalized college counseling and mentorship. The competitive admissions process requires guidance that most students don’t have. Limited resources make it difficult to build strong applications and make informed decisions.

From first session to acceptance letter — these are the students who trusted IVY.
“Simone helped me completely reframe my personal statement. I went from a generic essay about volunteering to a story that was truly mine. Columbia was my dream school and I'm still in shock.”
Jade Robinson
Thomas Jefferson High School for S&T, Alexandria VA
“Diana helped me see that my research project — not my GPA — was the centerpiece of my application. Three top-school admits later, I understand exactly what she meant.”
Marcus Johnson
Stuyvesant High School, New York NY
“Aisha helped me find the authentic story in my application instead of the one I thought admissions wanted. Getting into Yale felt like confirmation that I'd finally learned to trust my own voice.”
Arjun Patel
Henry M. Gunn High School, Palo Alto CA
“Diana helped me frame my robotics project so it spoke to what UCLA's engineering program actually values. When the acceptance came, I knew exactly how we got there.”
