Welcome to IvySelect College Consulting

Top College Counseling for the Top 5-10% of Students and Student-Athletes
IvySelect assists high-achieving students, students planning careers in law and medicine, and student-athletes seeking admission to top tier and other top 100 colleges. As Top College Specialists, we work with students in the top 25% of their class. For students at the very upper end of the academic spectrum - in the top 5%-10% - we assist in maximizing your competitive stature for admission to the nation's most elite, highly-selective colleges. If you're considering the Ivies, peer universities like Stanford, Duke, Georgetown and MIT, or leading liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Pomona, Wesleyan and Middlebury, IvySelect can provide the necessary expertise to guide you through the process and find your best fit.

Top College Counseling for the Top 10-25% of Students and Student-Athletes
We provide an equally meticulous and comprehensive program for the bright student in the top 10%-25% seeking admission to other top 100 colleges, i.e., highly respected, competitive and popular public flagship universities like Berkeley, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia and Maryland, selective private colleges like Bates, Reed, Kenyon and Occidental, as well as selective private universities like USC, NYU, BC, George Washington and Miami. Regardless of where you fall along the academic continuum, we help you develop a range of excellent choices from which to find a college that is a great match, both intellectually and emotionally.

Superior Background and Real-World Experience
Our background and real-world experience give you a decisive advantage in the selective and highly-selective college admissions process. We help you navigate the process in a way that expands your knowledge and choices. Our knowledge, in turn, helps you and your family avoid critical errors. Our college admissions counseling expertise enhances your ability to be a competitive applicant to top colleges.

Counseling in Los Angeles, Nationally & Internationally
We offer our services in person in Los Angeles and Southern California. In-office visits are supplemented by teleconferencing, email, fax and correspondence. We also consult nationally and internationally via distance counseling. We will fly to you, if required, although all of our services are seamlessly offered in a virtual format using all current communications technology, including webcams.

Flexible Hours, Compassionate Counseling
You are our number one priority. We are not simply your counselor and your advocate. We are passionate about your academic success and your happiness. We serve as your sounding board, your supporter and your motivator. We help alleviate stress. We keep flexible hours so that we can be there for you when you need us.

Top College Specialists
Our reading, professional development, research, visitations and contacts are geared specifically toward accumulating current, pivotal information about the Ivy League admissions process, as well as about the academics, school culture and environment at the Ancient Eight and their peer institutions, extending to the nation's top 100 colleges and universities.

Uncovering Your Best Fit
In order to uncover a best fit for the motivated and talented student, IvySelect focuses on the specific qualities of each school in relation to your goals and passions. We guide you and your family to look beyond the highly-selective college admissions process as a matter of prestige and "bragging rights." Rather, we assist you in discovering a milieu where you will be happy, learn and thrive. We help find the college that will best prepare you for economic and professional success in an increasingly competitive world.

Specialized Counseling for Medical and Law Schools
Beyond college, we specialize in counseling for medical and law schools. This continuum of service allows us to provide insight and perspective for what lies ahead for many top high-school students, as well as counsel college graduates working on the next step in their education. For the transfer student seeking admission to selective and highly-selective colleges, we also offer assistance in this unique application process. Whatever your stage in the process, IvySelect is there to offer quality professional advice and support.
