  • What is a story that only you can tell? Application Identity™ (App Identity™) takes “hooks” and “spikes” to a new level—finding the one aspect about your profile that you—and only you—can bring to a college. By finding your unique App Identity™, The Ivy Institute “flips the script” of college admissions and our students become highly sought after and recruited by top colleges for the unique, one-of-a-kind qualities they will bring to their campuses.

  • We take the guesswork out of college admissions as the only firm to offer Predictive Admissions—applying computational modeling to maximize a student’s success. This allows us to make specific recommendations that can increase a student’s applicant score and ranking.

  • The Ivy Institute is the only firm in the nation to offer an unlimited amount of help, meetings, reviews, and edits for any number of colleges that the student selects.

  • The Ivy Institute is the only firm with a research institute that tracks and analyzes current admissions trends and criteria, along with future changes, to ensure our students have the most up-to-date information to maximize their success.

  • We offer our students access to our international network of admissions experts, connections, resources, and opportunities to help students build an Ivy League profile in a short time.

What is your App Identity?

Ivy League and top colleges want one of everything, and they never accept two students with the same profile. To get into an Ivy League or top college, you need an App Identity—a distinguishing characteristic that is unique to you and that only you can bring to a college campus. By being the only student in the applicant pool with such a characteristic, you will be far more likely to be recruited and sought after by top colleges.

So what will your App Identity be? What is a story that only you can tell? At The Ivy Institute, our team of former Ivy League and top college admissions officers knows exactly how to make you one of a kind!

  • How do Ivy League and top colleges make decisions?

    A Student’s Unique Niche & Talent

    With very limited seats in the freshman class, top colleges look to fill each seat with a student with a different and unique background, skill, interest, or talent to add to the diversity of their campus’s learning environment. Thus, successful students must identity what they—and only they—can add to the campus. Having reviewed thousands of applicants, we help students find their unique niche and strategy in the admissions process.

  • How do Ivy League and top colleges make decisions?

    A College’s Needs & Priorities

    Ivy League and other top colleges have specific needs and priorities they need fill in their freshman class, such as sports teams, band members, and students that can contribute to the positive development of the college. Many of these needs and priorities go unfilled. Thus, if you are the only student to meet a need, your are very likely to get accepted. Every student has something unique. We can help you find what.

    Students with Strong Self Identity & Awareness

Ivy League and other top colleges are looking for students with a strong sense of self identity, self awareness, and self expression, along with seeking a growing importance of students aware of others around the world. Our program will help you discover who you—and only you—will be!
