High School Consulting – Ivy Talent Education

What Makes Ivy Talent’s U.S. High School Application Service Unique

At Ivy Talent, our U.S. high school application services are defined by three core strengths: strategic precision, personalized guidance, and deep educational insight. With over 15 years of experience in U.S. high school admissions and 12+ years in college planning for high school students, we offer a truly integrated and results-driven approach.

Why Choose Ivy Talent High School Admission Couseling?

1. Precision Matching Over Broad Submissions

We take the time to understand each student’s background, goals, and potential before crafting a strategy that aligns them with schools where they will thrive. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of U.S. boarding schools and understanding of life after enrollment, we’re able to make school recommendations with unmatched accuracy. As a result, Ivy Talent students enjoy a significantly higher admission rate to their top three choices, well above the industry average.

2. Boutique Service with High Impact

We limit our annual intake to just 30+ students to ensure that every family receives our full attention and expertise. Each student benefits from one-on-one guidance—no one is ever treated as a number.

Because our students come from diverse academic and personal backgrounds, there is no internal competition. Every student receives a tailored plan that reflects their strengths, not someone else’s profile.

5. Growth-Focused, Not Just Admission-Driven

We view admissions as a gateway, not a finish line. Ivy Talent believes the most valuable outcome is the student’s personal growth. Through the application process, we help students build self-awareness, confidence, and motivation.

As certified professional consultants, we empower students to use the application journey as an opportunity for reflection and transformation, so they don’t just enter top schools, but walk in as stronger individuals prepared for what lies ahead.

4. A Reputation Built on Trust, Not Advertising

More than 80% of Ivy Talent families come to us through referrals. We choose to invest our energy into serving our students and families, rather than marketing. This strong word-of-mouth network reflects the trust we’ve earned and the results we consistently deliver.

3. Inclusive, Student-Centered Support

We support students from all types of academic systems—including public schools, bilingual programs, international schools, and U.S. junior boarding schools. Whether a student is exceptionally competitive or just beginning to define their path, if the values align, Ivy Talent is committed to guiding them every step of the way.

Ivy Talent’s service exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and efficiency. No matter when we had questions, Ivy Talent responded quickly and thoroughly. Both the China and U.S. teams were very professional and helpful. Their service also felt warm and personal—they always approached planning from the student’s perspective, aiming to find the most suitable academic path. It showed us that the consultants truly cared about the child." "Compared to larger agencies, I felt more confident choosing a smaller, more focused team. My child received more attention and guidance throughout the process.

From school: Suzhou Foreign Language School

When we first started speaking with consultants, many consultancies told us that applying to top U.S. high schools required an all-A’s transcript. But Ivy Talent didn’t dismiss us just because our child wasn’t a straight-A student. Instead, they focused on uncovering our child’s unique strengths and used those to match us with the right-fit schools. Their structured process and strong communication with schools provided us with outstanding support every step of the way.

Student R, admitted to The Lawrenceville School

From school: German Swiss International School, Hong Kong

Seeing the consultant connect with our child like a friend really moved us. It helped our child reflect, grow, and even improved our parent-child relationship significantly. The team’s attitude was honest and transparent. They never made empty promises, which made us feel even more at ease. Our experience working with Ivy Talent far exceeded our expectations. Even though we've lived in the U.S. for years, there were still areas we didn’t fully understand. That’s why it was so valuable to have a team of professionals handling everything with care. Ivy Talent’s attention to detail helped us step back, gain new perspective, and find more clarity and inspiration on our educational path.
