Who You Know in College Admissions

Who You Know in College Admissions April 8 Only an unscrupulous private college counselor will say that theyll use their contacts to help your child gain admission. Is it about who you know in college admissions? We get a lot of callers at Ivy Coach. We much prefer that parents and students fill out our consultation form  and then we will schedule a time for a free 20-minute consultation. When you call directly without first filling out the consult form, were basically just going to repeat this. With a lot of callers, it goes without saying that we get some crazy callers. And we get others that simply dont have a clue about the highly selective college admissions processbut think they know it all. Those are the absolute worst. Just the other day, a parent called to see if we could help his son get off a highly selective college waitlist. Why of course we can. We do it all the time. But this particular parent didnt want to use our services. He wasnt interested in our helping his son craft a powerful letter of enthusiasm. He wasnt interested in our advice in what to do after the letter of enthusiasm is submitted. All he wanted us to do was use our connections at the Ivy League college that waitlisted his son to get him off the list. That is utterly ridiculous! We will never, ever do this. Do we have contacts in highly selective college admissions offices? Of course we do! Everyone in college admissions knows Ivy Coach. But as the leading private college counseling firm in the world, our job is to go unnoticed by admissions officers. If we do our job right and we always do admissions officers at the highly selective colleges will never know that you sought our help. Any private college counselor who says that he or she will use contacts in admissions offices to help your child gain admission, that counselor is unscrupulous and should be avoided at all cost!
