Ivy Scholars is the premier college admissions consulting firm for high school students in the Greater Austin area seeking admission to top-tier colleges and universities.
Austin is a city which is rightfully proud of its reputation. It is known to be weird, and revels in the culture it has created and developed. Students from Austin are likewise bright and eager to learn, and love giving back to the city which has nurtured them. Unfortunately, students in Austin often lack the support they need when applying to colleges. There are around 350 counselors per student in Austin, and while these dedicated professionals work very hard, they are often not given the tools they need to properly support students.
This leaves students in Austin adrift, especially when it comes time to apply to colleges. This is always a tricky and time consuming process, but doing so without support can feel like navigating a dense jungle without a guide.
For this reason, many families in Austin are turning to Ivy Scholars to fill the gap. Our counselors work one on one with students, giving them all of the personal attention and guidance they need to excel in the increasingly competitive college admissions environment. Our results speak for themselves; our students see great success when applying to top schools in Texas and across the country.

On average, the students we work with are 3x more likely to get accepted into their top choice school, and all of the students we’ve worked with are accepted into a reach or target school.
We’ve worked with students from across and around Austin, who have attended many of the high schools in the area. Specifically, we have worked with students from the following schools:
When Austin parents come to us, they’re looking for expert advice. Just as you want to hire an accomplished engineer to design a house, or an honest accountant to help with your taxes, so should you want an experienced counselor to help you apply to top colleges.
With counselors based in Texas and around the country, we have experience with top colleges across the US. Each student works 1 on 1 with a mentor who guides them through the process, supported by a team of editors, researchers, and experts to help with specific concerns or areas of interest. Each student’s applications are reviewed multiple times by multiple people before we sign off, to make sure we always help our students put their best foot forward.
We begin working with students where they are, beginning as early as 7th grade, or as late as right after Early Decision results come out; either way we are able to help them find college solutions that work for them.
In our time working in Austin, we’ve found many great opportunities for students to get involved with. Here are some which can help you get involved with the community, or other opportunities of note.
