"Productive essay brainstorming sessions! I thank the entire team at ReachIvy who’ve helped me accomplish my goal of getting into UC Berkeley which had always been my #1 choice. From the very useful counselling sessions with the Profile evaluation expert guiding me throughout high school and helping me build my CV to the productive essay brainstorming sessions with the Essay Brainstorming expert, my journey has been truly amazing.

"Dependable Essay Editors. I had signed up for the ReachIvy comprehensive package for a couple of schools. ReachIvy used a three-pronged approach towards the goal of getting an admit from selected schools. As a first step, ReachIvy Counsellor conducted a gap analysis ie. comparing school requirements with my credentials wrt. GMAT Score, Professional Experience, Extra-curricular activities. The counsellor suggested that I take a month to improve in some of the identified areas. After a month, as a second step, I had a ‘Brainstorming Session’, where the Brainstormer and I, worked towards building a compelling story incorporating various aspects of my personal and professional life. Now, the last stage was bringing all of this together in the form of an ‘Essay story’. During this stage, no matter how many times I reached out to the editor, he/she was always willing to address my concerns and work towards continuously improving the essay. Now, I have received admits along with scholarships varying from partial to full, from schools such as Wharton Business School, Chicago Booth, Michigan Ross School of Business, and London Business School. ReachIvy played a big part in this success and I would highly recommend ReachIvy to any MBA aspirant!”

"When I first thought about applying to universities in the US I had a million doubts in my mind, but after just one session with ReachIvy, all my doubts were answered. They have opened my eyes to many different ideas I haven’t even considered before.

I worked on 5 school applications with ReachIvy experts for my Undergrad in the US, which included a counselling session with Miss Ananya, a college selection session with Miss Grishma, many Brainstorming Sessions with Miss Gargi, and a Goal-setting Workshop with Miss Vibha.

In the counselling session, they analyzed my capabilities and helped me build a powerful resume. The college selection session was very helpful as Miss Grishma helped me to choose universities according to my requirements and priorities.

The Brainstorming Sessions with Miss Gargi was not only informative but also a lot of fun. We worked on numerous essays including the Common App essay along with the editing team. The help provided to format my college essays made me more creative and improved my writing skills. Miss Gargi also formatted perfect Recommendation letters for my teachers, so these Letters would prove effective in my application.

The Goal Setting Workshop with Miss Vibha was so enlightening; I got to speak to people from different fields and of different ages. Miss Vibha’s method to set Goals is so effective that I continue to practice it in aspects of my life- from setting a goal for my studies to set a goal for other personal improvements.

I would also like to thank Miss Varsha without who this process would be very difficult. She kept a weekly check on my progress, coordinated everything, and answered all my concerns.

Reachivy is highly informative and well-versed with everything. I love the way they work because it’s highly organized and systematic so the pressure doesn’t come at once. They are really approachable and accessible. They make sure I have enough information about any idea I come up with. They create a very non-judgemental environment which helps students open up even more. They are the perfect mix of quality and reliability.

I know I can always trust ReachIvy for my future!
Thank you so much to the whole team! My parents and I are so Greatfull :)"

"Thank you so much for your continued guidance over the past few years! You have played such an important role in not only helping me realise my passions and interests but also in helping me understand how to do this in the most effective way possible. Every meeting and talk with you helped me gain confidence in myself along with new insights into my personality. Words cannot express how grateful i am for all your help. I would not have been able to realize and reach my goals as easily without it. There is no one i would have rather have had lead me on this journey, and i will always cherish the effective yet enjoyable way we were able to do this together. Thank you so much for everything."

Rajvi Kumat admitted to

SCAD

"I signed up for the essay and resume editing service.

Since I already knew that RISD and SCAD were the two schools I wanted to apply to, I directly started with brainstorming for my essay and resume. I didn’t have any issues, the timings were flexible and helped me connect with the counsellor whenever I had a question I read through them thoroughly to gain a deeper knowledge but i felt one on one talks with the counselors on skype helped me out way more. I had a 3 year degree and wanted to apply to a school in the US which required a minimum of a 4 years bachelors program, so that was one of the problem ReachIvy.com helped me out as my Top schools for interior design were in the States. I have already recommended ReachIvy.com to a lot of people. My cousins had used their services before me and that's how i got to know about them. My younger brother is in grade 10 right now and he has already started his general counselling with ReachIvy.com, so i highly recommend getting help from ReachIvy.com. It was worth the time and money!"

"I want to thank the entire team of ReachIvy for such a wonderful assistance throughout my application process. Right from the counselling, resume making, essay writing, interview preparation and every single step, a very prompt and efficient guidance was provided to me by so many different people. I want to thank each one of them individually.
 
While, my this journey with ReachIvy has now come to an end, I definitely look forward to remaining in touch with you so that I can benefit from the other amazing services at offer."

"I signed up for the 5 schools MBA package. My collaboration with Reach Ivy started with a counseling session and it took off there.

I also appreciate one of the major out-of-box suggestions that came from one of my counselors and I believe that really helped me in making my application for Cornell stand out. Thanks to the Editing team for helping me enhance my essays. A special mention to Varsha for being very supportive, accommodative, and prompt all throughout the journey.

"The application process is that ReachIvy was very helpful. All the sessions that were conducted really boosted my chances. I am also very grateful that editors were provided to me even at the last moment. The overall help provided by ReachIvy editors, brainstormer as well as the coordinator made all the difference and made my applications much better. I am really expecting good results from at least more than half of the colleges I applied to."

Prisha Mangat admitted to

UCLA & UC Berkley

"Thank you so so much for all your help over the past couple of years! I will always be grateful. Below, I have written my testimonial from my experience of counseling with you: 

I am so grateful to have gone through the college app process under the skilful guidance of Vibha and all of team ReachIvy. They were instrumental in familiarising me with the processes of shortlisting colleges, preparing to apply to them, and even picking a college after I got my decisions. Along the way, Vibha and team taught me several important skills such as those of brainstorming, storytelling, packaging, and reflection. These not only aided my applications, but have also equipped me for the future. Finally, the fact that I was able to REACH my dream school speaks for itself!"

Helly Mehta admitted to

LSE & JHU

"Well coordinated and encouraging. I have received acceptance letter from LSE and from JHU today along with the Dean’s scholarship of $20,000 from JHU. I thank Vibha Madam for her constant encouragement and motivation to apply for the Early Decision round; The ReachIvy team for coordinating and being open to answering my concerns; my essay editors who helped me complete and submit my applications within the stipulated period. This wouldn’t have been possible until the team collectively wouldn’t have worked to help me. Thank you so much!"

"Supportive and patient! By the end of my 11th Grade, I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue my further studies in The United States. My family and I were in a deep dilemma. After talking to many, we finally decided to take the big step and apply to schools abroad. While I was relieved for a mere second, the pressure of the application process soon caught up. This was not a cake-walk for me as being a CBSE student, l was completely unaware of the process. I jumped in and tried to push my way up with all the support I could get from my family. My dad introduced me to ReachIvy.com. The ReachIvy experts provide complete guidance and help in each step of the application. I was able to craft winning applications based on my profile. The team was always supportive and listened to my concerns and suggested amazing solutions for my essays. The final result was breath-taking! I am now studying Chemical Biology at The University of California, Berkeley which was always one of my dream universities. I am so sure without ReachIvy's help I would have not been able to reach where I am today. I will be eternally grateful to the ReachIvy Team for everything!"

Chaitanya Kabra admitted to

University of Wisconsin Madison, NYU, UMass Amherst, Washington University

"ReachIvy has helped me prepare better for my college applications. I signed up for ReachIvy’s ‘Essay editing and Application’ package. The Brainstorming calls were extremely professional and really helpful for guiding me in building my application. All the suggestions made by my appointed counselor were based on my interests after a thorough discussion. Later, I also took their Interview Prep package. Within the package, along with an experienced counselor to prepare me for my interview, ReachIvy also included an extremely comprehensive interview questionnaire that covered all the different angles of possible questions that can be asked in an interview. Thank you ReachIvy! I got admits to my target schools because of your expert support."

The entire team involved in the application process took ownership of their work. Timely feedback and follow-up from the team helped me complete my work well within the deadline.

"Helping with high-quality applications to top B-schools. What makes ReachIvy different from others is that the team invests in you - both personally and professionally. Right from the start of my journey until the end, I met extremely talented individuals, each one of whom has played vital parts in my applications. RI team made me stretch myself to such extents that it helped me go beyond what was possible. The most striking aspect of RI is its capability to capture the length and breadth coverage of the applicant’s life. The detailed and thorough analysis that RI made me do at every step, played an instrumental role in setting in the right perspective in my mind and helped me channelize my mind in the right direction always. Besides, helping one choose the right school-list, highlighting the right parts of one’s candidature, linking one’s academic and professional journey rightly with the future goals, editing essays sharply, answering to every query justly and promptly, making one go above and beyond while drafting resumes, preparing intensely for the interviews, and giving their expert yet honest and personalized advice post-applications – they do it all. I would highly recommend anyone who’s looking not just for making high-quality applications to top B-schools but also for truly reflecting on their own life to definitely reach out to ReachIvy! A special thanks to Vibha ma’am, Varsha, Juhi, AJ, GN, SG, AC, ND, SD, AB, MP, and Archana for constantly being there all the time and for being such a fun team to work with!! I absolutely enjoyed my time with ReachIvy!"

"Brainstorming session helped me realize the strength of my application. I would recommend ReachIvy to everyone who wants to craft the strongest application for applying to their dream universities!” I got admitted to 4 schools for the MHCI program including Carnegie Mellon University & Georgia Tech, with the help of the ReachIvy application Scholarship I won. A lot of my time was saved as the entire process is online. All I had to do was upload the required documents and drafts to schedule sessions or get edits and wait for feedback! We started with a Brainstorming session which helped me realize the strength of my application, followed by essays where the editor provided me with a detailed and concise outline for each essay. I was lucky enough to be awarded the ReachIvy Scholarship that helped me reach my desired program."

Ronak Parekh admitted to

Warwick Business School (30% scholarship)

"Creating high-quality applications to top B-schools. So many of our dreams at first seem impossible but as one says, setting a goal is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. I wouldn’t have been so confident hadn’t I enrolled in ReachIvy. To be honest, when I enrolled, I was a little skeptical cause the entire process is online and I was so confused about how things will take place but now I feel I could not have asked for a better admission consulting firm to work with. Firstly, thanks a lot NIDHI PAREKH for referring me to this wonderful institution. With great gratitude I would like to thank VIBHA KAZI Ma’am who has been the backbone of this institution, she is one of the sweetest I have ever spoken to and I personally feel her passion is to be the bridge between the students and their goals. What makes ReachIvy different from others is that they’re not only professional but at the same time they delve deep into our personal lives to get to know us better. In fact, I had not known myself so much until the brainstorming session. SHYAM GURSAHANI Sir, GAARGI DESAI and GARIMA RANA have been on their toes constantly. They asked me to brief them about my entire life, right from the events I participated in school to my contributions at UCD. It is not easy as it sounds, the brainstorming session went for days where I kept thinking of what have I done and how have I developed myself in the past years. The brainstorming session helped me not just to frame the essay and my SOP, but it has given me much more confidence and a clearer picture of my Goals After the brainstorming session the team also helped me build a resume that stands out. Thanks to the experts the resume has been straight and crisp to the point. I believe the team has done a wonderful job and anyone who reads my resume gets a clear picture of my past experience, my strengths, and of course about my achievements. The entire team has been so professional and my journey with them has been very smooth, this wouldn’t have been possible if JUHI ma’am and VARSHA ma’am wouldn’t have helped me out through all the obstacles and issues I faced. I would highly recommend ReachIvy to everybody who’s looking for making high-quality applications to top B-schools."
