I wanted to share with you what an absolutely amazing experience we had with Jeannie in working on A’s college applications (and Beth in guiding E as a freshman).

The journey from being in a school mindset to one aspiring to a robust college career is a difficult one, especially in an immigrant family like ours.

Ivey Consulting was an amazing and seamless experience for me. I was able to form a close personal relationship with Beth which made the whole process comfortable and the least stressful it could be, considering the stakes.

Thank You...We could not have done it without you. For once I am at a loss for words... so I'll sign off, gather my wits, go to work and cherish the process we went through together.

I can't believe I haven't told you, I opted for BC :) Thanks for everything you really helped me so much with the whole process. It's my brother's turn soon. He is a completely different person in terms of the way he does work and of course personality, haha but I believe you'll do the same for him :). 

Again thanks for everything! 

Well W is finally off to school, and I wanted to thank you for your invaluable counsel as he worked through the college process. Having spent last weekend at Northwestern, I am so excited for W and have a great feeling about it as the right place for him. You did such a great job of showing him the world of possibilities, helping him to navigate the process, and helping him to fully think through his decision.

Thank you for sharing your "wow" assessment of J's work. It means a great deal, especially coming from you. Your insight and guidance through the whole college process has been (and continues to be) greatly valued and appreciated. 

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I decided to commit to George Washington University! I think it will be a pretty awesome place to go to school. Also, thanks for helping me with everything! 

I was wondering if I could have your mailing address (haha I know that sounds weird) so I could send you a graduation announcement. If not, I can always scan it to you!

We are very proud of M - he’s worked hard in a number of areas to put himself in a great position. We can’t believe he’s going off to college so soon! We are equally excited about him getting into a challenging environment in the US and making the most of the experience.

We really want to thank you for all your care and attention to M over the past four years. We think you’ve had a tremendous impact on his focus, planning and goal setting which has materialized into great accomplishments. As a result, what should have been overwhelming and stressful - applying to colleges -- has been somewhat anticlimactic in a good way. Being proactive and having a plan has put M in this position.

Also, your advice to us on school choice has been invaluable.  Pomona wouldn’t have been on the top of our list (or on our list) when this process started, but now we truly feel that Pomona will be a tremendous fit for M and we feel good about his decision.  

We need to talk about our 7th grader next!  

[Our son] listened to you more than us.  He began to understand the implications of the process and his relative position within it. You provided us with perspective, which at times was essential to being able to coexist with the lad.

Honestly, I think your point about the student presenting a consistent, cohesive picture of himself was important. For many kids and parents (as you obviously know) the tendency is to try to hit all of targets as hard as possible each on an individual basis, and that likely does not ring true on the other end.

You were right that she didn’t need to take an extra class in 12th grade.

You were right that after being devastated by her SAT score that the assessment test may indicate that she would do better on the ACT.

You were incredibly insightful to guide us towards small liberal arts colleges. I didn’t make the connection to the Montessori background but you did and I think she will be MUCH happier than going to a large research university.

When I looked at your Spring break choices, the idea of driving to Vassar was very unpleasant. But when we got there, we all knew that it was different than every place we had been. I was concerned that it would get her hopes up. But I knew it was a highly selective school and it might be a motivator to her.

I could continue but I realize you have other clients and for them, the journey is still going on. It was not easy to hand the wheel over to C and you and just observe. I observed as much as I could. I can raise my hand and say that I took your advice and I never looked at her essays until after they were submitted.

The experience of working with the Anna Ivey team is nothing short of phenomenal.  Their expertise, careful listening, and investment in my success resulted in the best possible admissions outcomes for me. I could not be more grateful. 

It is impossible to quantify the value of the help provided by Indrani and the Anna Ivey team throughout the application process. I am not being hyperbolic - the value of an advisor does not lie solely in the benefits of brainstorming and technical feedback on writing.

Ms. Stangl's guidance was pivotal to the success of my applications.

I'd recommend Indrani and the Ivey team to anyone applying to law school.

Indrani made me feel both listened to and supported as we navigated both the pandemic (and its impact on the LSAT/LSAT Flex) and the application cycle overall.

Indrani is incredibly insightful - her guidance and advice helped me clarify my law school admissions goals and convey my own unique voice in my personal statement.

I would not be where I am today without her, and I will never forget that she is the reason for the future that now lies ahead of me.

As a non-traditional re-applicant, my confidence was really shaken coming into this latest cycle.

As a non traditional applicant, I struggled with finding resources to help me through the law school application process, including how to study effectively for the LSAT

Thank you so much for all your support this cycle, Anna. I can’t imagine any way I’d have gotten the Hamilton without your help crafting a strong application to Columbia. Thanks a million! Or thanks $225K?

I have no doubt that working with Teresa and the team at Ivey Consulting played a huge role in my successes during the law school application process.

Super splitter, 2.xx GPA, a few years of work experience, re-applicant. Accepted by T10 in a tough cycle, nonetheless. No way I would have done it without the help from Indrani.
