College Applications
Prime Ivy supports students through a structured, realistic application process—grounded in academic direction, consistency, and clarity. We help students present their work thoughtfully while staying calm, organized, and in control throughout the year.
What We Support During the Application Year
Prime Ivy supports the entire application process, not just individual pieces. Our role is to ensure clarity, consistency, and strong execution across all components.
School List Strategy
A data-informed, experience-driven approach to building alanced, realistic college lists grounded in academic profile, interests, institutional fit, and risk assessment.
Application Timeline & Deadlines
Project-managed application timelines that keep students organized while guiding them through school- and platform-specific nuances they might otherwise overlook.
Personal Statement Development
Unlimited exploration and reflection to help students uncover meaningful experiences and build an authentic, credible personal narrative.
Supplemental Essays Execution
Guided research and writing support to connect a student’s background and goals with each school’s programs and resources—demonstrating clear fit and purpose.
Recommendation Guidance
Strategic guidance on counselor, teacher, and external recommendations to ensure letters are well-timed, credible, and aligned with the student’s application.
Interview Preparation
Guided mock interviews that help students reflect deeply, refine their narrative, and communicate with confidence in high-stakes settings.
