Stressful College Admission Process

Stressful College Admission Process June 4 Its been said that Ivy Coach prevents murders. Thats right. Gather round, we have a story to tell about the stressful college admission process. We had a student several years ago who really wanted to go to Williams College. And so, naturally, she applied Early Decision to Williams. After her application had been submitted, her mom called and she happened to say something like this: If she gets in, itll be worth the money weve spent. We didnt much like that. We did great work for this student, as we do for all of our students. Of course if she gets in, as so many of our students do, thats wonderful news and we love that. But either way, we gave her the best possible shot of gaining admission to her dream school. So, needless to say, we didnt love this particular comment. Fast forward to the day this student found out her decision from Williams. She indeed did get in. The student called us to let us know how excited she was and to thank us for our help. Bev, Founder of Ivy Coach, asked to speak with her mother. The conversation went something like this: I just wanted to congratulate you. You must be so excited! We are so thrilled, the mom replied, We couldnt be happier. I just wanted to remind you of one thing, said Bev. Stop right there. I know what youre going to say, the mom said with a smile, She got in. It was  worth it. Before Bev could respond, the phone had seemingly been wrestled away from the mom by the dad. The dad got on and said, Even if she hadnt gotten in, you were worth it. You saved this family from a murder. And thats precisely what we do at Ivy Coach. Not only do we help students gain admission to the colleges of their dreams. But during the most stressful highly selective college admissions process in which parents so often fight with their children, we alsoprevent murder. Thats right. We. Prevent. Murder.
