SUCCESS STORIES
Parents of J. (Stanford University)
“Ivy Success was actually quite exceptional. The team worked with our daughter, for the three years preceding her college applications. At the time, our daughter was a good student who enjoyed swimming and singing--but had little drive and confidence to take her aspirations to the top. Ivy Success coached J. to excel in her independent research, to take her athletics up a notch, and to create beautiful choral music. They also helped her discover and find places to become a gifted leader, in addition to completing some amazing essays and applications.
Ivy Success assisted Jackie to successful acceptance at West Point, Yale, UCLA and Stanford. In the end, J. chose Stanford. We are so grateful for their consistent, generous, extraordinary investment in Jackie's development, progress, and ultimate success.”
Parent of F. (University of Chicago)
“Ivy Success’ consultant really helped our daughter believe in her unusual musical and artistic abilities. He helped her get into the Sorbonne to study drawing one summer in Paris and produce her own art monograph; another summer he helped her create a marketing internship at Paypal using her art abilities at a Silicon Valley start-up. Finally, he assisting her in the writing of a very, very unique masterpiece Common Application essay which sounded just like Fan--even though we were concerned it was a little "on the edge."
F. got into many outstanding universities but chose her top choice, University of Chicago. We are quite certain she would never have done this without the help of Ivy Success. We have definitely recommended them to other parents!”
Parent of T. (Stanford University, ED)
“Ivy Success helped my daughter get into Stanford on an early decision (ED) application this year. As a single parent, though well-educated in China, I did not really know what to do. Tiffany did not believe very much in herself. She did not have any really defining achievements though she was going to a top college prep school. Her essays were struggling so much and she was always changing them.
The team at Ivy Success helped T. decide on one pathway of positioning her applications--then helped her through 12 different versions of her Common Application major essay. In the end, I wasn't sure to be honest (my English is not that good). T. loved the essay, and the admissions helpers said it was a masterpiece. When she got into Stanford, T. was so ecstatic. We are private people, but we told everyone.”
Kathleen V., Alumni and Regents’ Scholar (University of California)
“As a young woman, I immigrated to this country, and had many things to overcome. With the help of Ivy Success, I graduated out of the top of my high school and my UC Campus.
Now, I am headed to an awesome PhD program on the East Coast. Ivy Success has given me the strategy, tools, and confidence to succeed in all of my life.”
Joshua L. (Cornell University)
“Before I started with Ivy Success, I had every expectation that I would be attending a pretty ordinary college in my state…However, Lance believed in me before I even believed myself and encouraged me to levels I have never dreamt would come true. Ivy Success certainly has taken me “to the best places in life!”
Financial Analyst (Stanford University)
“Ivy Success has provided me with invaluable help - not only in making the right academic and university choices, but in helping me create the whole picture for my future professional option and opportunities, relationships I wanted to have - even how to relate better to my family when it came to making my own choices as a young adult.”
Parent of R. (UC Berkeley)
“We worked with another consultant initially who lived closer to us at the time in the SF Bay Area (Ivy Success’ team was working from the South Bay, we lived in Berkeley at the time; now it is split between Hong Kong and SF). Then we discovered the difference: The team’s passion, experience, and drive took R.'s motivation--and his college applications-- to an entirely new level.
Ivy Success really helped our son get "pumped up" and focused on his potential. Not only did he get recruited in his favourite sport (swimming), but he successfully got into his two top choice academic programs (Engineering at UC Berkeley and an elite specialty CS program at USC). Had we known, we would have worked with Ivy Success from the very beginning.”
