The Ivy Review








"The program did much more than simply improve my SAT scores. They helped me with every aspect of college admissions, and I could not have gotten into my first-choice school without them."

Solomon Lee, Harvard/Stanford 2010


"The program has helped me immensely by providing not only the ideal resources for test preparation but also the motivation and drive to succeed beyond academics and build upon my personal goals. Thank you for your guidance!"

Eunice Lee, Stanford 2010


"Thank you so much for all the guidance in college admissions! I learned some valuable information about the process that definitely gave me an edge. The personal interaction and advice, the college interview preparation, and the workshops all helped me tons.  Not to mention the SAT preparation helped me crack the standarized test wide open. Thanks again!"

Sam Rosenberg, Harvard/Yale 2010


"I remember in junior year, the jittery feelings I started having about college admissions.  "How am I going to distinguish myself from all the other thousands of hopeful applicants out there?" This program was the key. Thank you so much for not only helping me to raise my SAT score, but also giving me much needed advice - I really do not think I would have made it to Stanford without your help."

Hui Ye Zhang, Stanford 2010

 

"THE IVY REVIEW has changed my life so much! Before I came to The Ivy Review, I thought that just good grades would get me into a prestigious university. After I took the program though, I learned so much more about the college process! This school is definitely different from other SAT programs. This school not only taught me about the new SAT, but also about the college admissions process and about good study habits. The Ivy Review made the Ivy League dream into a reality for me!"

Theodora Tran, Brown/UCLA 2010

"I would first like to thank you so much for your guidance and mentorship. You not only shared your academic expertise but your passion for serving others and your drive for excellence."

June Ho Kim, Harvard 2009


"I have to say that the program has greatly exceeded my expectations. I felt that the instructors really worked with me and taught me many new and insightful strategies for studying and taking the College Board tests."

Steven Hao, Yale 2009


"You have been such a tremendous help. The more time I spend at Harvard, the more I realize how much your advice and counseling have truly brought me to where I am today. I wouldn't even have had that choice if it weren't for your guidance and aid. Thank you so much."

David Seo, Harvard 2008


"Thanks to the program, I was accepted early to Stanford this year! I owe them so much for giving me not only the best educational guidance available, but also the motivation and desire to succeed."

Sally Chang, Stanford 2009


"Thank you for your continued guidance and support as I prepared to apply to colleges and later
needed to
select the one to attend."

Steve Lee, Harvard 2006


"Thank you so much for guiding me throughout the years! Each Saturday at SAT class was time well spent and I could not have progressed academically without your support. It has truly been a great honor and privilege to have been your student in the SAT class in San Jose."

Gilbert Hwang, Stanford 2004


"Thank you for all the help that you've given me in the past two years. It really paid off! I was accepted early at Stanford for the class of 2004! Thank you for all the SAT prep and college application aid. I could not have done it without your help."

Michelle Chun, Stanford 2004

"I'm at Cornell now. I decided at the last minute (of course) to go here versus UCLA. I must say it has been the best decision I ever made. Despite the fickle weather, I have fallen in love with Cornell, Ithaca, the East Coast. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. I appreciate your compassion for me. I thank you for teaching that life and success are all about choice. You never had to spend as much time with me as you did. You were never required to give me advice. I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with you. Not only did you raise my SAT score but my self-awareness as well. Thank you once again for everything."

Jina Kwon (Cornell)

"Thank you for all the guidance in the past year. I really appreciate the time and care you took to help me with everything: my test scores, applications, and college essays. The Ivy Review is an amazing program! Not only did I raise my test scores with your help, but I always came out of class motivated to try harder. I'm so excited for everything God has planned for me this year. And I pray that He continue to bless you and your family."

J. Y. Lee (Amherst 2006)

"Thank you very much for the generous scholarship. As you know, college is expensive and this helps greatly. CAL is awesome and definitely all that its reputation holds. There is a very competitive feel there, but as long as the person does his or her best then the work is manageable. I am currently taking Chem 1A, Math 1A, Anthropology1 (Biological), and PACS 10 (Peace and Conflict Studies). Because I'm in the College of Letters and Sciences, I am required to take courses not under my major, which is Molecular and Cellular Biology. Well, this is just a quick note of thanks, I must finish my homework. Haha."

Kathy Lee (UC Berkeley)

"I would like to take this chance to thank you for all that you have done for me. You are truly my role model, and you have inspired me to really shoot for the stars when setting my goals and priorities. I admire you so much not only for your intelligence and academic greatness, but also for the passion and drive you have when teaching your students. I literally try to digest and process EVERYTHING you tell me. The teachings, advices, and motivations you give me are like cold water to me when I'm thirsty. Every time I went to The Ivy Review, every minute was worth all that I sacrificed to get there. I feel so blessed to have someone like you in my life."

S Lim

"Thanks for everything. I got accepted to Princeton University. I wish you and your family the best."

Mayra Ceja (Princeton)

"I was in your Oakland SAT class. I was the girl obsessed with getting into Johns Hopkins University. I applied early decision and I just got my acceptance letter! Thank you for all your help."

Kimberly Ducar (Johns Hopkins)

"Thank you once again for everything that you did to help me get so far.  That acceptance letter from Harvard was beyond what I was realistically hoping for.  The financial aid package looks better than great, too."

-Sophia Lee (Stanford/Harvard 2008)

"I would like to thank you for all your help. You have been very supportive of me even though I moved to Los Angeles. Thank you for correcting my essays. Now, I'll focus on UC apps, and USC. Wish me luck on my Stanford decision! Hope your SAT classes are going well. Best wishes to you and your family."
