The Ivy Star team
Firsthand perspective.
Years of guiding others.
Every member of our advisory team has studied at an Ivy League or similarly selective university. We combine that firsthand perspective with years of coaching experience and a personal commitment to the students we advise.
Education & experience
An Ivy League-plus education.
A practiced eye.
Our team brings years of experience in admissions coaching, essay development, interview preparation, and academic mentorship.
Having studied in demanding academic environments ourselves, we understand the independence, curiosity, and commitment those experiences require. Our coaching experience helps us turn that perspective into practical advice for your next step.
We help you consider where you’ll thrive, identify the experiences that deserve space in your application, and explain your ambitions with clarity. From school choices to essays and interviews, you receive thoughtful questions, candid feedback, and clear priorities.
Bespoke by design
Your story shapes
our strategy.
We begin with a conversation about you: your interests, your experiences, and what you want your education to make possible.
Your advisor builds a plan around your starting point, the decisions ahead, and your deadlines. We keep our client load small so there is time for close discussion, careful reading, and feedback that develops as your work does.
You work one-to-one with an advisor who knows your goals and stays involved. Whether you need ongoing guidance or focused help with a statement, we agree on the scope, schedule, and fee before you begin.
Across your education
A relationship that
supports your next step.
For younger students, our mentorship creates space to explore interests, develop projects, and grow as independent thinkers. As college applications approach, we help you draw on that work to choose schools and tell your story.
For law school and graduate applicants, we shape the guidance around your academic direction, professional experience, and the degree you’re pursuing. We work with students in the United States and internationally through online meetings.
