"Honest and Straightforward Feedback. I would really recommend ReachIvy to anyone who wants to secure admission to a top business school. After having worked with other education consulting firm, I was very skeptical towards finding the right organization. When I came across ReachIvy, I did my research on them, I heard lots of positive responses and thus, signed up for a four-school comprehensive package with ReachIvy. It all started with the college selection service, where the expert really helped me zero down on colleges that would be a great fit for me. Consequently, I had a brainstorming session, which I believe was the changing point as it really helped me understand where I stand with my profile. The way the brainstormer helped me craft my goals and the way she understood my story was amazing and she really helped give it a shape that everyone would appreciate. More specifically, she helped me to create a unique application and highlight points, which some other applicants would not have. Simultaneously, she was honest and straightforward in her feedback, which really helped create a great application Although I was a bit late with respect to my deadlines, the team helped me to meet the deadlines. The editing was amazing and content of the essays was tight and to the point. ReachIvy also has some great online tools, especially the interview tool, which helps one to practice endlessly. Thank You ReachIvy!"

"Instrumental in Making Perfect Applications. My experience with ReachIvy was just wonderful. I chose the 5 schools comprehensive package. The step-by-step process ReachIvy follows, was instrumental in making the perfect applications to the schools. The counselling session was quite enlightening as I understood my profile better and was able to plan out where I could improve, so as to be more competitive with my fellow applicants. The college selection session made me shortlist schools that would be an ideal fit for me and also be realistically possible to get in. The ReachIvy expert was amazing with planning out strategies to tackle the essay questions. He was able to extract the best of my profile and help me in framing it perfectly to answer the questions. The interview prep was a much necessary step as the expert trained me to face the questions in a much more appealing way.  All in all, I would conclude by saying that without ReachIvy, my process of applying to schools would have been a much harder one and thanks to the team I was able to do it in a very short timeline as well."

"Keen eye for finding the best in you. ReachIvy helped me evaluate my profile, pointed out where I lacked and areas I needed to work on. During the brainstorming sessions, the counsellors helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, heard my story, and brought out the best of me on my application. From an admission committee perspective, the team / person assessing thousands of applications, scans your profile without any background about you. Hence, it is really those essays that can make or break their decision. ReachIvy gets how important this aspect is and goes the extra mile to bring out all your personal and professional accomplishments in the best way possible. As all the counselors are from top B-schools themselves, they have the knowledge of what is required in your essays and what the interviewer is looking for as well. The whole ReachIvy system is really very coordinated. There are experts assigned specifically for college selection who help draw up the best set of colleges basis your profile. Not just that, there are people who are dedicated to brainstorming your essays and bringing out stories that you may not think of – no matter how small. They identify the most important aspect of your personality, and have a keen eye for finding the best in you."

"Thoroughly Professional. Thank you ReachIvy for helping me achieve my dream. It couldn’t have been possible without your unwavering support! I worked with ReachIvy on their 5-school application package. Thanks to the team and their services, I got selected as a CASE scholar at Duke University and also received Duke's Social Sector Scholarship! ReachIvy helped me shape my complete application process right from Counseling, College Selection to Applications, and then Interview Prep, which was just 2 days prior to the scheduled interview date. The structured approach really helped me in applying to multiple schools in a short time, without overwhelming myself. It was phenomenal how they helped me present my strengths to different schools differently. You are thoroughly professional and prompt with every response. I cannot thank you enough."

"Reduces Stress of Dealing with Applications. I signed up for the 10-school package that covered everything from brainstorming to interview prep. As soon as I signed up, we started off with a counseling session that focused on opportunities that were suitable, given my background and experience. This gave me insights into and an in-depth understanding on the opportunities that are available to me. Post this, we worked on my college selection and after this I was assigned a counselor, who began by understanding my profile quite comprehensively. This added tremendous value to the sessions and made the brainstorming session quite unique and highly successful, considering the importance of application essays. Brainstorming sessions were some of the most insightful sessions I have had and as a result, my essays were not only made easy but also had the impact that application essays should. What stood out was, the ease of working with the team and they were there almost anytime I needed advice or assistance. Their online content assisted greatly, especially during the interview prep. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy for anyone who wants to reduce the stress of dealing with applications and build a great profile for business schools. Thanks to them, I received admits from IE and Esade."

"Smooths Out Application Process. Upon talking with the ReachIvy team, I was immediately convinced and I signed up for the 2-school comprehensive package and a school selection package. From the very beginning, the ReachIvy team proactively helped me in all aspects of the application. I had a counseling session followed by a college selection session. Once I had shortlisted the schools I had to apply to, I was provided with forms to be filled for a brainstorming session. The brainstorming was scheduled with Vibha. The session really helped me kickstart the essay writing. ReachIvy has templates, which really help smooth out all parts of the application. The turnaround time is very fast and I usually received the reply from the team within 24 hours of submitting my essay drafts. I was able to get admits from 4 schools of my choice namely Babson, IE, ESADE and CEIBS. I thank ReachIvy for their assistance in my application process and I would like to recommend their services to all those planning to apply to business schools."

"Skilled Approach, Exact Communication. In a UK Masters app, the SOP is the single most important document that ties up your past achievements and your future goals. The craft of communicating the right amount of information in the right manner to my top choice universities is what ReachIvy helped me achieve. Since I was in London. , we worked via email and ReachIvy’s expert editors helped me rework my essay to convey my thoughts in the crispest way possible. ReachIvy showed me ways to focus my story and projected a skilled approach in exact communication, given the limited word allowance. My writing style remained intact, but the content and direction of my essays improved considerably. I also had a time constraint which was met at every step by ReachIvy. Not only am I glad that I came across ReachIvy, but I also encourage other students to partake of the fantastic services they offer."

The brainstorming session helped me channelize my thoughts, bring out my strengths and tailor the SOP to the desired school. Additional inputs from the editors helped me connect the missing dots to make my application strong. I was able to get admission to Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and McGill University.

"World-class Brainstorming Sessions. I enrolled for a 3 school MBA/Masters application package with ReachIvy. The team was very prompt and always accommodated my requests. One of the many impressive strengths of the team was the absolute clarity of conducting the world-class brainstorming sessions. I have published a poetry book and considered my draft essays faultless but the editorial team not only discovered myriad vulnerabilities but also made them bullet-proof! I cracked the SMU MAF program which is rated 4th best in Asia as per FT Rankings 2016. Undoubtedly with a touch of genius, they are at the top of their game!"

"Worth Every Penny. ReachIvy has been extremely helpful in reaching my dream school. It helped me bring out and present my strengths to the colleges in an exceptional way. It is not easy to get into MBA program of a top college without any full time work experience. ReachIvy has made it possible by helping me build my profile, and present my best to the colleges. The interview session is worth every penny as that is the final stage where we get in touch with the colleges and are given a chance to convince them. I highly recommend Reach Ivy to every student who wants to achieve his/her dreams and thinks they can present themselves better than they are."

"Super-efficient Process, Swift Replies. I signed up for the 5 school package with ReachIvy. I started off with the brainstorming session and the brainstormer went through my complete life history and we discussed highly personal as well as professional stories about me. We then narrowed down important learnings from my experiences and went through the stories which were relevant to the essays for the schools I was applying to. I drafted the essays based on detailed prompts provided by the brainstormer and then the editors provided comments on those immediately. The process is super efficient and while you might take additional time to draft essays, the editors always reply swiftly. Moreover, the interview and resume manuals really helped me during my application process. Overall, the story is yours but ReachIvy's inputs let you tell your story in an amicable manner. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy to everyone who's reading this testimonial"

"Exceptional Guidance. I signed up with ReachIvy for a complete 5 school package for my MBA applications. From day one, ReachIvy Team helped me be extremely organized and approach the applications in a pre-defined procedure. The first step was to choose my colleges and decide on the application rounds for each college so as to spend sufficient time on each of the colleges. Each of the applications had a brainstorming session to decide the flavor and story of the application. I would definitely recommend the brainstorming sessions and give them the highest rating possible. These sessions helped me read through my life stories which I wouldn't have paid attention to otherwise. In addition, the essay editing and the interview preparations were also done with equal expertise and exceptional guidance. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy's services to everyone who is aiming big in their career and education. A heartfelt thanks to your team!"

"Very Knowledgeable Team. Being alumnus of some of the very schools that most of us aspire to go to, the ReachIvy team is very knowledgeable about the nuances of applications to top-tier schools. ReachIvy won't just give you personal attention and guide you with selecting the right schools, but will also help you tailor your application to make you come across in the best light possible. What's most unique about ReachIvy is its ongoing Speaker Series: it offers an abundance of information and insight. This also provides for a vast network of alumni, faculty and admissions experts, which will prove to be very useful. I highly recommend ReachIvy's services for all those focusing on top tier schools."
