Description

This 20-hour 11th grade strategy package is designed for students who are approaching application season and want to make the most of the critical year before senior fall. Junior year is when college admissions strategy becomes real. Course rigor, grades, testing, extracurricular depth, leadership, summer plans, school list direction, and early narrative development all begin to shape the application a student will eventually submit. This package helps students and families move from scattered effort to a clear, focused, and competitive admissions plan. As the Founder & Executive Director of Ivy Journey and an elite admissions consultant with 15+ years of experience, I help students identify their strongest differentiators and build a strategy that connects who they are, what they have done, and where they want to go. My students have earned admission to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Penn/Wharton, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Cornell, and other top universities. In this package, we will evaluate your current profile, identify your most compelling admissions themes, strengthen your academic and extracurricular positioning, develop a smart college list, plan your testing and application timeline, and begin laying the foundation for your essays and application narrative. This package is especially valuable for high-achieving students targeting Ivy League & Top 30 programs, as well as students who have strong accomplishments but need help turning them into a cohesive admissions story. By the end of our work together, you will have a clear strategy for the rest of junior year, summer, and the start of senior year, including what to prioritize, what gaps to close, how to position yourself, and how to enter application season with confidence and direction.
