Admissions Equality: How The Ivy Institute Bridges the Gap in College Access

It’s no secret that the road to college admission isn’t equally easy for everyone. For decades, there have been significant gaps in college admission and graduation by demographic factors. Historically, college admissions consulting services have exacerbated that gap. However, The Ivy Institute is changing the game and offering tailored application support to students from all backgrounds.

No Student Turned Away

Multiple sources have ranked The Ivy Institute as the top college application assistance program based on student success. So, it might come as a surprise that the firm has a policy of never turning away students. The Ivy Institute’s expert admissions counseling team is committed to the success of their students regardless of background or ability. 

As a representative of The Ivy Institute puts it, “We firmly believe that students of all ability levels and interests — if provided with the right support and network — can really embrace their strengths, skills, and what they can uniquely offer to a college.”

That isn’t to say that the Institute can get any student into any college. Instead, its team of former Ivy League admissions officers helps students understand which institutions they have a realistic chance of getting into. From there, they pick one or two top schools to focus on.

Harnessing the Power of Technology

How does The Ivy Institute help students determine which schools they should focus on? Admissions strategy experts are guided by high-tech Predictive Admissions Modeling. This tool takes key details about a student and compares them to every school’s admission criteria, trends, and preferences. It helps take the guesswork out of applications and lets students (and their counselors) focus their valuable time in ways that are likely to pay off.

The Ivy Institute team is particularly passionate about this tool because it allows them “to see what [students’] strengths are — and also what’s missing from their profile.”

Of course, an algorithm-based tool like Predictive Admissions Modeling is only as good as the data it’s based on. One of the reasons The Ivy Institute achieves top university acceptance rates year after year is its in-house research institute. 

As the only college application success firm that conducts its own research, The Ivy Institute can ensure that all decisions are based on the most thorough, accurate, and up-to-date information about the country’s top colleges.

The Importance of Staff and Strategy

The college admissions coaching staff at The Ivy Institute have a desire to see their students succeed, and the college admissions staff has the expertise to make it happen. Each student is matched with a counselor from one of their top schools. Counselors are former Ivy League admissions officers or graduates of top colleges, so they have the ability to deliver personalized college guidance that gets results.

Those results are helped by The Ivy Institute’s App Identity™ College Strategy. It’s a unique strategy that finds each student’s unique “angle” — something no one else can deliver. A strong App Identity™ sets each student apart and increases their chances of being sought after by some of the country’s most elite schools.

In the Competitive College Admissions World, The Ivy Institute Lends a Helping Hand

Academic coaching firms don’t have a reputation for being inclusive. Fortunately, The Ivy Institute is working to change that, prioritizing students’ “abilities and strengths to see what’s distinguishing about them [and] to set them apart,” as the CEO puts it.

Students don’t have to know certain people or pass certain tests to join. If you’re a high school student who wants to succeed, The Ivy Institute is for you.
