What We Do

Six ways we build an irreplaceable applicant.

Every family works with us on our white-glove packages, which cover admissions preparation end to end. That means the entire admission process, drawing on the areas below as the student needs them.

Areas that may be covered on Standard and Premium Plans:

I

Strategy

Former admission officers and elite strategists craft a personalized roadmap, so every student runs a custom game plan for their target schools.

II

Personal Statement & Supplemental Essays

World-class writers guide brainstorming, development, and editing of every essay while keeping the student's own voice intact.

III

Hook Program (Passion Project)

We build a project around the student's real interests. Past students created apps, nonprofits, neural networks, and literary journals, then earned recognition from renowned professionals.

IV

Summer Programs

We manage applications to the summer programs that actually move admissions outcomes, drawn from our internal database.

V

Academic Research

Students run an independent research project with our team of Ivy League PhDs and publish in an academic journal.

VI

Internships

Placements at partner companies plus the Ivy Brothers internship database give students real professional experience before they apply.

The Difference

The average applicant vs. the Ivy Brothers applicant.

The Average Applicant

  • Strong grades and scores, like everyone else in the pool
  • Ten scattered activities with no story connecting them
  • Essays written alone, the month of the deadline
  • A school counselor splitting time across 300 students
  • A school list copied from the rankings
  • Applies and waits

The Ivy Brothers Applicant

  • One spike an admission officer can repeat in a sentence
  • A passion project with real users and real recognition
  • Published research with Ivy League PhD mentors
  • Essays developed with former admission officers
  • A school list built around early-round strategy
  • Every application reviewed by our Admissions Roundtable before it counts

What our families say.

Ivy Brothers helped Sam get accepted to the Research Science Institute, start his own solar nonprofit, and do research under a Harvard professor. All 12 schools' essays were done by early November. He was accepted to Harvard, UPenn, Brown, Carnegie Mellon, and UCLA.

RachelRachel · Parent, Harvard University

I expressed interest in investment banking, and Ivy Brothers helped me find internships, start a student consulting agency, and get accepted to Wharton LBW. I got into schools that would have otherwise been out of my reach.

KevinKevin · Student, UPenn Wharton

Thank you for helping our daughter through her formative years: summer programs, an internship, a project that helps our community, and acceptances to Brown, Duke, USC, Georgetown, Northeastern, and Emory. Around 50 essays, all at high quality.

"I couldn't have made it to Harvard without the help from Ivy Brothers. They gave me the confidence that I needed to put my best foot forward, and make sure my hard work in high school didn't go to waste."

Stanford Admissions

Selective colleges build a well‑rounded class out of students who each go deep on one thing.

Admissions officers call it a spike: original research, a venture with real users, a published body of work, a record no one else in the pile can claim. We help students find theirs early and build it into something real.
