Ivy App Help to end paid application review services
Dear Visitor,
After two seasons of application review and seeing our students get admitted to top tier schools across the US, I am sorry to announce that Ivy App Help will not be accepting new paid clients except by personal referral. We have decided that focusing on our non-profit operations will benefit our community in a much greater way.
We will continue to accept questions through our question page for free. I have enjoyed answering hundreds of questions from around the world and am ecstatic that our site has developed into a unique forum for both the academic elite and underprivileged to get their college questions answered.
Sincerely,
Peter Maa
Founder
Ivy App Help
Getting into college has never been harder. In an era where millions of high school seniors are applying to double-digit numbers of schools, simple GPA and test scores don't quite make the cut anymore. Last year's applicant pool was the largest ever and many schools reported record low admission rates. In addition, the elimination of early action at many schools means the same competitive pool is applying to more schools and colleges are admitting less with uncertain yield rates.
But there are tips and strategies in every part of applying to college that will maximize your chance at admission, whether at an Ivy League or elsewhere. When we applied to college, we had to piece together these tips and strategies. So we have joined together to provide an affordable, one-stop-shop for all you need to know about applying to college. We have been through the process and know what works, from the essay to the interview to the recommendations.

I want to let you know that my son felt that the workshop was very helpful to him. The information he took away from the workshop will definitely help him better prepare for his college applications. He also felt that you and other members are very friendly, open, and eager to help.
Thank you so much. You did a great job!
