Why Us
Discover how our founders, one a student at Princeton and the other a graduate of UCLA, came together to create a college consulting firm based on their own experiences.
As recent students who have navigated the admissions process, we understand its challenges. It's not just about crafting applications and building a personal brand; finding reliable and fairly priced college consulting services is tough. In the past, we worked with counselors who provided inadequate services, leaving us feel alone and cheated. We founded IvyBruin College Consulting so no student has to feel the way we did. Leveraging our experiences getting accepted into top schools, we provide students with the support they need to succeed.
Some top schools we were accepted into:
Our Services
We offer individualized college consulting for our students at a 2:1 counselor to student ratio. We focus on really getting to know the student holistically and catering their college admission portfolio to their strengths.
Essay Editing
For students who have a draft of their essay and want a second opinion, we offer a thorough essay editing service. Both of us will review your essay, bringing our unique perspectives from the college admission process. After creating detailed notes and comments, we will schedule a 30-minute follow-up session to discuss your essay's narrative and the changes we recommend.​​​
Consulting Session
We offer an individualized consulting service where students can address any of their concerns and challenges. During this session, we can help students brainstorm essay topics, develop college lists, and advise on extracurriculars and personal branding. If there is something else you would like to discuss during your consultation session and you are unsure if we can help, schedule a free evaluation to discuss your desired services.​
Testimonials
"I worked with Jina and Lora for this past application cycle and I was so happy with the results!! I felt that the whole experience was closely tailored to me and how I wanted to present myself in the process.
​
I really appreciated the help they provided, especially for my essays. I had a lot of scattered ideas for my essays that I had a hard time piecing together into a coherent essay. They were very patient with me and went step by step to decide which components to include and brainstormed how to really get my story across. I’m so happy with how they turned out, and I attribute my acceptance UCLA, my dream college, to their careful support and extensive knowledge of the process!
​
If you are a high school junior or senior working on your application I highly recommend working with IvyBruin! They are experienced and know how to enhance your application to give you the best shot possible during the complicated admission process."
