I’m Becky Song, Founder & Executive Director of The Ivy Journey and a premium college admissions strategist with 15+ years of experience helping students build standout applications for Ivy League, Top 30, UC, and other highly selective universities.
My students have earned admission to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Penn/Wharton, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Michigan, Cornell, and more. I specialize in helping ambitious students move beyond a generic “high-achieving applicant” profile and develop a clear admissions strategy, memorable personal narrative, polished essays, and a school list that fits both their goals and competitive positioning.
My approach combines admissions insight, strategic consulting, and deep narrative coaching. I help students identify what makes them distinctive, translate their academic and extracurricular experiences into a cohesive story, and present themselves with clarity, maturity, and authenticity across all elements of their application.
I’m especially strong with students targeting Ivy+/Top 30 schools, business or entrepreneurship programs, STEM/business crossover profiles, undecided high-achievers, international students, students who need stronger differentiation, and families who want a structured, high-touch process.
If you want a coach who can help you think strategically, write powerfully, and build an application that feels both authentic and competitive, I’d love to work with you.
