FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything applicants ask, in one place.
How old do I have to be to apply for this program?
Students in 7th grade (age 12) or older are encouraged to apply.
I’m applying to college this cycle (rising senior). Am I still eligible?
Yes! While we prefer to work with students long term, we do accept a limited number of rising seniors provided we think they have a fair chance of success in the admissions process.
When is the best time to apply for this program?
Early. The earlier we begin working with a student, the more options we have to build an application that will stand out in the admissions process.
I live outside of the U.S. Am I eligible to apply?
Yes! About half of our clients are outside the U.S. and we have an amazing record with international admissions.
Do you work with Transfer Students?
Yes! Transfer admissions is as hard as it gets, and we love a challenge!
I just applied! When can I expect a decision?
We receive roughly ~100 applications for each open spot in our program. This means it can often take a few weeks to review new applications. If more than 2 weeks have passed since you applied, you may email info@ivyroadmap.org for a status update.
I was invited to an interview! Does this mean I got in?
Not yet. Our application process has multiple stages, and an interview is just the next step. If the interview is successful, a member of our team will reach out to let you know you’ve been admitted and provide a custom quote.
My invitation says both I and a parent must read the Ivy League Roadmap before the interview. Why is that required?
Our program is not for everyone. We ask more of our students and families than a “normal” admissions advising program so we can deliver results that a “normal” program cannot. The book explains what that looks like, so the interview can start from a shared understanding.
How much does the program cost?
Every student has different needs, so we take that into account. If admitted to our program, you’ll be provided with a custom quote tailored to your needs. You’ll have an opportunity to review this quote before committing to our program.
I’m applying to colleges outside the Ivy League. Can you still help?
Of course! The principles used in our advising and application process are effective at all US universities, including the UCs and other prestigious universities outside the Ivy League.
Can I speak to some of your past clients as a reference?
College admissions and applications are an extremely personal process. We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and privacy for each of our clients, with non-disclosure clauses being a part of all of our contracts.
What is the success rate of your clients?
Our clients are admitted to Ivy League colleges at roughly 5 times the average rate for those schools, with some doing much better.
Can you guarantee that I will get into an Ivy League college if I work with you?
No. The college admissions process is unpredictable, with dozens of factors outside of your control, and even more outside of ours.
