ivyO Summit is our long-term college planning program individually designed to empower Grades 7-12 students in reaching the pinnacle of their college admissions potential, whether that lead them to an top US institution, like an Ivy League school, or to an elite UK university, such as Oxford or Cambridge.

One of the major differences between ivyO Summit and other college consulting “Packages” in the marketplace is that the ivyO Summit service contract is remarkably reasonable, equitable and client-friendly; pro-rata refunds are provided on unused services in the event of contract termination with due notice and is subject to each family’s individual circumstances.

As always, ivyO strives to minimize for families the anxiety, stress and tension associated with the college admissions process, while giving families flexibility and peace of mind in regard to their college counseling costs. We believe that our simple and equitable fee structure is testament to our ethical practices which our clients desire and deserve.

ivyO Summit is our long-term program focused on the continuing task of monitoring, reviewing, and strengthening our students’ progress to ensure that they remain on track with their college admissions goals.

While students of various levels of capabilities will derive tremendous benefits from the ivyO Summit, the program is designed for students who perform considerably better with a higher level of personal attention, especially if those students are seeking admissions to the most selective colleges or universities.

At ivyO Summit, students are expertly guided by their ivyO college admissions counselors on Zoom, or by phone, throughout their entire admissions journey.
