Founded by Dr. Matthew T. Riley in 2017, Ivy Academic Prep offers a range of college admissions consulting services that can be purchased as packages, hourly sessions, or essay draft reviews.
About Company
Ivy Academic Prep’s biggest strength may be its flexibility: this firm offers a la carte consulting services, which make it accessible to a broader range of clients. In addition to the usual array of college consulting services, they also offer graduate school and transfer admissions packages and one-on-one test prep for the SAT and ACT. The website contains admissions checklists for 9-12th grade, a blog (which hasn’t been updated since 2021), and various testimonials.
Although Ivy Academic Prep says that “All of (their) counselors have experience serving on admissions committees for ultra-selective collegiate programs,” we could only find only one team member that mentions such experience in her bio, though they note that additional tutor and consultant bios are “available upon request.”
Ivy Academic Prep Score
Ivy Academic Prep Review
Ivy Academic Prep gets its highest score in web presence, thanks to a third-page Google search result securing a 4 in that category. A lack of reviews and social media accounts gives them a 1 in the reputation and influencer categories. With no data on student admissions outcomes, they receive a 2 in results. They get a 3 in team size for the six consultants shown on their website, a 1 in team quality for the admissions officer we mentioned above, and a 3 for estimated six years of admissions office experience. Ivy Academic Prep’s final score is 2.14
