Ivy Coach is a New York-based private college counseling firm that assists students from around the world in gaining admission to Ivy League colleges as well as other highly selective universities. Ivy Coach is regularly cited by major news publications as a source of advice on Ivy League and highly selective college admission. In reference to the firm's tell-it-like-it-is approach, the newspaper of Dartmouth College has editorialized, "Way to tell it like is is, Ivy Coach."[1]
Outspokenness on College Admissions
[edit]The firm has been cited by news outlets on a number of issues surrounding the Ivy League and highly selective college admissions process over the years, such as:
− Championing the need for college applicants to demonstrate a singular talent, rather than well-roundedness, that is of interest to highly selective universities.[2]
− Calling for highly selective colleges to cease their discriminatory policies aimed at Asian American and Asian applicants.[3]
− Emphasizing the importance of college applicants applying through early decision or early action policies.[4]
− Encouraging applicants not to necessarily answer every question that is asked of them on college applications.[5]
− Discrediting the notion that high school summer programs at elite colleges help a student's subsequent case for admission.[6]
− Offering insight into the advantage legacy applicants and development cases, or the children of donors, can have in the admissions process.[7]
− Calling into question the term 'need-blind admissions' by asserting that colleges rely on tuition dollars and that colleges cannot truly be need-blind if admissions officers are privy to the answer of whether or not students need financial aid on the college applications themselves.[8]
− Touting the importance of excelling on AP exams.[9]
− Discouraging Asian American and Asian applicants from playing into stereotypes so as to avoid discrimination in the highly selective college admissions process.[10]
− Bringing to light the role that connections can play in the highly selective college admissions process.[11]
