"As a sophomore I was doing so many clubs and things that exhausted me. I’d stay back at school until 7, 7:30pm, and I was going nowhere. I had no direction. So Lara taught me to be strategic and only do things that I truly enjoy and value. When you do that, you’ll be able to contribute more of your time and will be passionate about it. You’ll make it yours, and that’s what will shine through your application"

"My mentor would spend every night with me, editing my documents, criticizing what needed to be criticized, and giving me valuable feedback. Today, he is someone who can not only tell my story, but tell my story better than I can do it myself!
There is no doubt in my mind that mentorship program was essential for me to get accepted into Harvard."

”The first time I applied, I got rejected in 19/20 colleges that I applied for. But I didn’t want to give up on my dream. I took a 3 gap years before college.
I worked closely with Lara and focused on my weaknesses. She gave me the foundation to build my applications in a stronger way. I fixed all mistakes I made over the first round of applications and felt much more secure. I ultimately got accepted into NYU Abu Dhabi, a 2% acceptance rate university, with a full-ride!”

"The Ivy Centre is different from other programs because it's more personalized. You have more contact with your mentor, one-on-one contact, which is important because the mentor gets to know you more personally, helping with essays, planning, and college list more efficiently."

“A few meetings with my mentor, Lara, were enough for me to learn how to express myself correctly. Achievements aren’t enough. You have to apply many techniques. The Ivy Centre mentors indeed master those techniques and teach you! The Ivy Centre’s mentoring service was an investment with huge returns. I recommend it to all those who wish to get admitted to the best undergraduate or graduate programs.”

”Receiving guidance from someone with experience allows you to get familiar with the application process. Having my mentor explain everything in detail during every step of the way was very valuable!
I also had the help of my mentor to prepare for my interviews, so I was confident for them. I would, of course, recommend this mentorship program to everyone!”
