Every US college-bound student knows that it's tough to get into an Ivy League school —Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth and Cornell, or other prestigious institutions like Stanford, MIT, UChicago, Northwestern, Duke, Caltech, and Johns Hopkins.
It's just as tough for students trying to get admitted to Oxbridge, a portmanteau of Oxford and Cambridge, two world-famous universities in the UK.
Relative to the US and the UK systems, the pathways to Australian universities are less complex. But understandably so, many international families engage professional consulting firms, like ivyO, to help their students with university planning.
For many families, domestic or international, that are thinking about sending their child to study abroad, the big questions are:
What's best for my child? To study overseas or stay in our home country? And why?
If it's best for my child to study abroad, then where? The US, the UK, or Australia?
All important questions, and they keep many parents up at night.
Stress no more, ivyO can help you research, find and gain admission to the best-fit university for your student, whether that happens to be in the US, the UK, Australia or right there in your home country.

Now, back to the admissions process, particularly in cases where the desired institutions are highly selective schools in the US like the Ivy Plus, it is distressing that each year, countless students unknowingly hurt their chances of being admitted by adopting a widely used but seriously flawed strategy.
Year on year, students submit profiles that are simply uninteresting — good academic grades, social sports, plays a musical instrument or two, coupled with some participation in school-based clubs and community service, all of which are assembled to display their “well-roundedness” for admissions officers (AOs) at their dream universities.
But AOs at top US colleges receive tens of thousands of these indistinguishable applications every admissions cycle. Little wonder the vast majority of them end up in the “Deny” pile.
When it comes to US college admissions, at ivyO, we focus on one thing — helping our students stand out from the crowded applicant pool. That's it.
We help our students stand out by presenting their authentic and unique profiles to their best-fit universities and gain admission. And we do it at the lowest cost possible for families. Our students strategically showcase such compellingly captivating profiles that AOs love to have our students on their campuses.
