Anna Ivey
Born and raised in Germany, Anna Ivey attended Phillips Academy Andover (Massachusetts) for high school, earned her B.A. in History from Columbia University in New York, spent her Junior year at Cambridge University in the U.K., and earned her law degree at the University of Chicago.
In law school, she served as an editor of The University of Chicago Law Review, worked as a research assistant to Larry Lessig with a focus on constitutional and cyberspace law, and took several classes at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
Upon graduating from law school, she joined the Corporate Group at the Los Angeles law firm Irell & Manella, working with clients such as Disney, AOL Time Warner, Williams-Sonoma, Hewlett-Packard, CSFB, and Mattel in mergers and acquisitions, securities law, and public and private financings. She later joined the Entertainment Finance Group at Gipson Hoffman & Pancione, also in Los Angeles, where she worked on the financing of major motion pictures starring actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Kevin Spacey, and Renee Zellweger.
She next returned to the University of Chicago Law School, where at age 27 she was promoted to Dean of Admissions. She decided who got in... and who didn't. She read thousands of applications, visited colleges nationwide, educated tens of thousands of applicants about the admissions process, and conducted hundreds of admissions interviews. As part of a larger community of admissions professionals, she also met regularly with law school, business school, and college admissions officers from top schools.
Anna has been featured as an expert on CNN and Fox News Channel, and in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Business Journal, Fortune.com, and Smart Money. She speaks at colleges and workplaces around the country and publishes ‘The Ivey Files,’ a blog for high school students and twenty-somethings navigating life, work, and school.
The author of The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions, she is currently at work on her next book, Gen Y @ Work, as well as a guide to U.S.college admisssions for the Korean market. Anna serves as a boardmember of AIGAC, the Association of International Graduate School Admissions Consultants (view our principles of good practice here).
Natively biilingual in German and English, her language studies have also included French, Polish, Latin, Greek, Aramaic, and Mandarin Chinese.
Gregory Henning
A native Bostonian, Greg attended Buckingham Browne & Nichols for high school and later graduated from Harvard College, cum laude, with a degree in Government. He next attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where he served on the editorial board of the Virginia Law Review and won the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association Trial Advocacy Award.

David Yi
Born and bred in sunny Southern California, David is a Korean-American who attended Flintridge Prep (Class of 2000). Eager to see more snow, he flew cross country to Middlebury College (Vermont), where he graduated, cum laude, with a degree in Political Science and Chinese. Upon graduation, unsure of where to travel next, David dabbled in various careers as a language analyst for both private and public sectors all over Asia before settling and serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the People's Republic of China. While living in Asia he acquired extensive experience teaching and training college and post-college level students in China and in Korea. David then returned to America, where he founded one Asia, a non-profit organization committed to encouraging unity and volunteerism among Asian nations. He soon had two jobs: running a non-profit by day and teaching the LSAT for TestMasters by night. Currently, he is attending the University of Chicago Law School. David speaks fluent Korean and Mandarin.
