Read what some of our students are thinking about the course:

Joshua from Australia

"The Ivy Advise program was very helpful in breaking down the complex US college admissions process into nice chunks that made it easy to follow. As an international student who had to balance my own system of university admissions, it was super important that I had a guide that I could go through at my own pace and convenience. I think the program was crucial in keeping me motivated and made the process a bit more enjoyable. Thanks to this, I was accepted to both Harvard and Princeton, and after deciding between two amazing options, I can now say that I am a Harvard student!"

Sindre from Oslo, Norway

SAT Superscore: 1470

"As a Norwegian international student, I was a bit intimidated by the US college application process… let alone how to apply to Ivy League schools. However, Ivy Advise completely clarified for me what I needed to do and when. Taylor’s comprehensive take on essay writing, I found, was also extremely helpful. Her deep-dive analyses of her own successful Harvard essays helped me understand what makes an essay dry and, conversely, what gives an essay that “it” factor. Since purchasing the course two years ago, I have learned so much, and now I have interviews with Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, and UPenn!"

Abia from Vancouver, Canada

"This guide has seriously changed my outlook on certain parts of the application, and I can't even imagine the impact it will potentially have on the decisions made regarding my application! Ivy Advise does a wonderful job of laying out the foundation one needs in the college application process, along with information that delivers thorough insight into how one can portray themselves in the best light and efficiently highlight their finest qualities. It has proven to be an invaluable resource as it has clarified my thinking, pointed me in the right direction and saved me countless hours of research! I believe it will prove to be a priceless resource for any student, regardless of how far (or early) they are in the college application process."

Gabrielle from Kingston, New York

Current Sophomore

"Ivy Advise has been so helpful in understanding the whole college application process and knowing how to start off strong in high school. I got the course when I was a freshman, and I am still constantly using it as a reference. I’ve even been able to use the information from the course to help my older brother when he had questions about teacher recommendations! The course is formatted in a very easy-to-digest way, and Taylor’s humor helps it from being dry. It really has helped me keep a file in the back of mind of everything I need to do. Now I feel prepared for the next steps of the process that will start junior and senior year"

Seo Young from Seoul, South Korea

"I am an international applicant from South Korea. I went to an ordinary high school in Korea, which means my school does not offer any information or guidance for applying to colleges abroad. I can either pay thousands of dollars to get professional instruction from agencies or search on the internet for hours to understand how American admission systems differ from those in Korea. Since it’s all about scores here and since how special an individual is, is hardly considered, getting a clear concept of what U.S. admissions officers are looking for is confusing and uncertain.

It was Taylor's YouTube videos that gave me straightforward, yet positive instructions and support at the time. Teachers (and even my parents) told me not to take such risks, but her videos helped me to think that it is possible to achieve my dreams. So, I gave it a try.

Ivy Advise’s courses contained more sophisticated, detailed instructions and, most of all, Taylor’s positivity toward the viewers' potential. I received not only invaluable advice, but emotional support from just watching her throughout the course.

She has the power of making people feel assured about what they can achieve. The information the guide contained was priceless, but I think it is her confidence that makes Ivy Advise so special."
