Let Ivy League professors become your admissions partners
The only admissions team in North America founded and led by Ivy League professors — an academic community, not an agency. Founded by Ivy League professors and senior researchers, IVY Club guides students around the world through top-tier applications and long-term growth.
Planning & Roadmap
Background assessment and a tailored plan: school strategy, dual-mentor matching, and a long-term roadmap that turns the application into achievable milestones.
Standardized Testing
TOEFL / SAT / ACT / AP pacing and target management, with a staged score plan built around your school list.
Custom Research
One-on-one research led by Ivy professors: topic, methodology, paper, and support toward international publication.
Top Summer Programs
Program selection and applications matched to your academic direction, with materials built to win a high-value slot.
International Competitions
Competition selection and coached preparation — the contests that matter for your direction, turned into admissions evidence.
Elite Internships
Referrals to respected firms and hands-on mentorship, building practice and recommendations aligned with your direction.
Application Materials
Essay strategy, elite mentor drafting, interview practice, and full-cycle submission management.
Six Pillars of the IVY Club Model
A Faculty Barrier Nobody Can Fake
IVY Club was founded in 2008 by Ivy League professors, and we have kept a two-team model ever since: faculty mentors plus admissions advisors. Each student works with three professors or researchers from a US top-10 or Ivy school, backed by two or three graduate-level advisors. Different fields, one team — so the advice is deeper and wider than any single consultant could give.
Professor-Led, Not Template-Led
Your plan is designed by professors, not picked from a brochure. It covers long-term growth and the full application cycle: research projects, papers and competitions, top summer programs, and social impact work built around real results. And when the season arrives, one system carries you through school selection, materials, essays, submission, and interviews.
We Screen Students Before Students Screen Us
We say yes to a family only when we believe the fit is real. Every student who joins goes through an academic-potential review and a school-match check before we start — because the quality of our teaching and the honesty of our results come first.
One Platform, No Blind Spots
Our own teaching and application system keeps mentors, advisors, students, and parents on the same page. Progress, deadlines, and materials live in one place — visible, traceable, and safe — with US and China advisors covering different time zones so nothing slips when it matters most.
Admissions for Who You Really Are
We do not run assembly lines: no fabricated research, no inflated competitions, no pity-story essays. Admissions officers are looking for independent thinking and resilience under pressure — and that is exactly what we help students build, the way a professor would in office hours: asking hard questions until your own real story comes out.
Doors That Are Usually Locked
Through a network built professor by professor across the world’s top schools, we open opportunities that rarely reach the open market: a place in a leading lab’s research team, a seat at an international academic conference, and a recommendation letter signed by someone who actually supervised your work.

Our daughter got into Stanford! We could barely breathe. Her profile looked strong, but honestly we had no idea if it was enough — the professors matched her project experience so precisely that we finally felt safe.
— A parent (US undergraduate)
My Harvard offer is here and my hands are still shaking. Without the professors and advisors, I would never have had the courage to even try for Harvard. Thank you so much!
— A student (US undergraduate)
Columbia came in! The professor understood Columbia’s preferences perfectly and the essays landed exactly right. Thank you for walking beside our child the whole way — it made all the difference.
— A parent (US undergraduate)
Professor, I got into Yale — unexpected, and yet exactly right. Thank you for polishing my personal story and academic motivation into something whole. I can finally relax and go read the social sciences I love.
— A student (US undergraduate)
After months of anxious waiting, rejections, and school-list agonizing, the graduate application finally closed. We only decided to switch to graduate school in late September — tight timeline, heavy work — and every mentor did their part: organizing materials while coaching research, and producing our child’s very first paper. Every key deadline had clear guidance.
— A parent (US graduate)
Stanford is in! Without you helping me build and structure my research experience, the essays would never have come alive. Thank you, professor. Thank you, everyone.
— A student (US undergraduate)
CMU’s computer science program admitted me — my dream school, finally! Thanks to the mentors who untangled my competitions and projects so clearly that the essay logic just flowed.
— A student (US undergraduate)
Professor, I was admitted to Penn’s Wharton direction! Internship, competitions, essays — all built to fit. This level of craft is rare.
— A student (US undergraduate)
Four offers so far — JHU, USC, NYU, UWM — and just now in my inbox, Cornell, an Ivy League offer, too!
— A student (US undergraduate)
The professor sent over my MIT Offer Letter — the very first offer! Dream fulfilled. Thank you for being with me every step of the way.
