Colleges admit people, not checklists. We build the person.
For over fifteen years every IvyBoost student has grown along four dimensions. Admissions readers look for all four. Most families only work on one.
Intellectual curiosity and academic rigor: course selection, research, summer programs, test strategy.
One distinctive area of depth that stands out: projects, competitions, leadership, portfolio.
Character, resilience and mindset: the qualities that show up in recommendations and interviews.
A cohesive narrative across the college list, activities, personal statement and supplements.
Your student's school counselor has 760 other students.
That is the California average. It leaves a few minutes per year for your student’s college plan. Admission to selective schools has never been more competitive, and the plan has never mattered more.

Before you book
Ninth or tenth grade gives us the most room to shape coursework and build a spike. We still take on eleventh and twelfth graders, and a lot of our work is with families who start late.
{{State the pricing model here. Parents are searching for it, and a straight answer filters out clicks you do not want to pay for.}}
No. Most of our families are targeting the UCs, strong privates and out-of-state publics. The method is the same: build the student, then build the list.
All sessions are online. Your student works with the same counselor over Zoom from anywhere in the Bay Area, no office visits required.
