FAQ
Why hire The Ivy Mind instead of another college admissions consultant?

There are too many private college counseling services but they either lack expertise or entrepreneurial spirit of success. We possess high quality expertise in helping students get admitted to selective colleges that is backed by our spirit of success (for us success is the only measure of true success), so we can help our students achieve their dreams.

How does the Platinum Plan work??

A student gets up to 35 one to one counseling sessions (up to 60 minutes each) which can be availed anytime beginning eighth grade and before the end of twelfth grade. If the student requests for more sessions than counselor will provide up to 5 extra sessions to meet her/his admission guidance needs as per Platinum Plan. Essay editing is time-consuming and challenging; therefore, the highlight of this plan is essay editing assistance. A rough estimate of the time commitment involved: (I) For a well-written essay with clear ideas and a strong structure: 1-2 hours of editing per essay. (II) For an essay with weaker writing or unclear arguments: 3-5 hours of editing per essay. (III) For a highly competitive program or college: Could be even 5-10 hours per essay.
