2017 Admissions Insights

The 2017 cohort has once again proved Ivy Talent Education’s core principle of long-term planning, strategic positioning, and consistent personal development. Exceptional results are not solely dependent on the “ideal” background or profile.

Students came from diverse educational backgrounds, including U.S. public schools, U.S. high schools, international programs in China, and mainland Chinese public schools. Among the 22 students in this cycle:

  • 90% of students got admitted to Top 50 universities
  • 70% of students got admitted to Top 30 universities
  • A significant number of students secured admissions through early rounds (ED/REA), a testament to the importance of early preparation.

This cohort demonstrated that individualized pathways and consistent effort lead to strong outcomes, even beyond admissions.

Why Families Choose Ivy Talent Education

  • Authentic alignment between interests, strengths, and positioning
  • Compatible school selection based on fit, not just ranking
