Praise from Students and Parents
“From last summer when we met with you and you laid out an objective systematic plan for [our daughter]... until the end of the process you and your team were just amazing.”
— S.V., Mother of Claremont McKenna College Student
“I came to Green Ivy because I was looking for guidance with my college applications. I wanted to improve my critical thinking skills and create stronger college essays. Ana and her staff listened to my opinions about what I wanted in a college experience and used their expertise to collaborate with me to create a fantastic college list. Ana and her staff spent getting to know me as a person beyond the application process. Everyone in the office was always incredibly welcoming and kind.”
— E.N., University of Notre Dame Graduate
“Ana would always ask me to write out my future goals. This helped me visualize my goals and create specific plans to achieve them. Whenever I felt anxious or stressed about school or life, I would reflect on my ultimate plans and re-organize my thoughts. I applied these skills to my career after college and I co founded a tech startup and received interest from a startup incubator!”
