Student and Parent Testimonials
“My counselor from Ivy Academic Prep was an admissions essay master! And, more importantly, with their help I was able to get admitted to U. Chicago, Brown, and NYU. They helped me with every step of the admissions process and I am deeply grateful for the in-depth admissions help that I received. ”
“Stanford, here I come! Thank you, Ivy Academic Prep. I would have been lost without you.”
“After two years at Brown, I am thriving as a student and am confident in my plans to become a lawyer. I would not be on this path to success without Ivy Academic Prep and the help they gave me on my college applications. ”
“Matt is amazing! I cannot say enough great things about him. I started this process with my oldest son in 9th grade. I interviewed over 20 college counselors all over the country! Since I have three children, I just wanted to get one counselor to work with all three of my children. Matt was the perfect choice. My two oldest were admitted into ALL of their choice schools and received academic awards. All of my friends were so impressed and have asked for his contact info for their children. They have all had the same success - which speaks volumes. I have already reserved my spot with Matt for my 9th grader. If anyone needs to speak to me regarding my experience, please contact Matt. I would be more than happy to provide details of our wonderful experience.”
“Ivy Academic Prep provided invaluable service to my daughter’s application process and admission to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. As an ex CEO and employer of several Ivy League graduates, I had very high standards for a college consultant. Ivy Academic Prep met and exceeded all of my expectations.
I hand-picked Ivy Academic Prep after interviewing many college consulting entities. They delivered everything I was looking for: Ivy League educated consultants, research and communication with current Ivy League admissions officers, and Ivy League caliber writing and editing skills.
Ivy Academic Prep was immensely helpful in my daughters admission to Columbia University. Unlike many consultants that required an expensive upfront package, Ivy Academic Prep allowed me to pay by project and proved their high value every step of the way.”
“I got into UC Berkeley, one of the HARDEST schools I applied to and my absolute top choice!!! I’m so excited!! I got into their College of Engineering for Industrial Engineering and Operations research. Ivy Academic Prep helped me with my UC essays so much. They helped me with my resume and other application materials to help me build the perfect image of myself through the 4 UC essays. Hard work pays off! I’m so glad we spent the time working on the essays together.”
“Ivy Academic Prep is incredible and working them raised my already excellent exam scores 32% over the course of two months. It was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!”
“The admissions counseling is phenomenal. Working with my admissions coach in one-on-one sessions revolutionized my applications, transformed how I wrote my admissions essays, and was the key factor in getting me into my “dream” school.”
“I’m a Chinese citizen working towards a degree at an Ivy League school. Since English is my second language, and my educational background is so different that the US system, I struggled writing my college applications. Writing essays, choosing the schools that were the best fit for me, deciding on a major, and even thinking about the possibility that I might have to do an admissions interview all seemed so daunting. It was a real challenge to adapt to the US education system and I felt like I was failing miserably. Finally I decided to work with Matt to help me with my admissions process. It was the best decision I ever made. Now I write with confidence and I’m graduating in the Spring at the top of my class. I highly recommend this program. ”
“Thank you, Ivy Academic Prep! You helped me get a 1580 on my SAT!”
“I am thankful for the astute suggestions in fine-tuning an essay from the point of view of admissions officers. My son’s essays definitely got much better in terms of addressing the topic, word count, and overall cohesiveness. I think his essays made a difference in universities where the admissions process is intensely competitive. Glad we found Ivy Academic Prep!

“With Ivy Academic Prep’s help, my amazing daughter got into Stanford, Berkeley, and Oxford. The results speak for themselves! Our counselor was very responsive, informed, and friendly as well. It was great experience and I recommend their service to everyone.”
“My son got admitted to all three of his top choices: University of Washington, Gonzaga, and UCLA. He wasn’t at the top of his class and he was involved in sports but didn’t have much experience as a leader or with community service, but Ivy Academic Prep started helping his when we was a sophomore and we transformed him into a shining applicant. After working so hard, it was exhilarating for him to be able to choose between his dreams schools. I have two other children who are starting high school and we will definitely be signing them up with Ivy Academic Prep. ”
“Ivy Academic Prep helped me improve my Common App essays and they also helped me choose which schools to apply to. I’m a second year student at Columbia now and I absolutely love it. Until I worked with Ivy Academic Prep, I didn’t even know that I had a chance of getting into Columbia. I love Ivy Academic Prep!”
“Ivy Academic Prep gave me invaluable feedback on my essays. I thought my essays were pretty good, but then Matt helped me and I found out that there were ways that I could dramatically improve them. I think that having that professional help made a big difference on my college applications. ”
“I received help with four drafts of my college application essays (Common App and Supplemental) and I was blown away by how much my writing improved as a result. The amount of feedback that you receive is impressive in and of itself, but the quality of the comments were far better than the advice I received from my teachers and friends. The consultants at Ivy Academic Prep are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. ”
“I’ve had four different tutors during my time as a high school student. Matt worked with me on my ACT and he is by far the best tutor I’ve ever worked with. Some tutors just know the materials, but Matt really knows how to teach. I am recommending Ivy Academic Prep to all of my friends. ”
“I was admitted into Boston University! My father and I are elated about the news and I wanted to thank Ivy Academic Prep for helping us with my essay because I doubt I would’ve gotten in without their help. ”
“When I got the acceptance letter from Johns Hopkins in the mail, I nearly fainted! I can’t believe that I got in! Thank you!”
