Testimonials
Sam, California
“I received a call from UC Irvine yesterday-Accepted! They said it was a unanimous choice for the admission committee and I was solid all around. I wanted to share the good news with you. My seat deposit is due May 6, so hopefully I will hear from USC by then.
Thanks again for everything”
(a week later) “I heard back from Loyola Marymount on Friday-Accepted!”
Mary, D.C
“I’ve been accepted into the Master of International Business program at Tufts and the International MBA at IE Business School!”
“I have more good news to report – I’ve been accepted to Duke and to Maryland with a full tuition scholarship (which will likely make the decision process more difficult than I had anticipated; but, of course, in a good way)! Right now, though, before I make any decisions, I’m focusing on my Columbia interview coming up on Saturday. In my preparation, I’ve come up with a few questions…”
“I would love to give a testimonial! Just let me know the details and I’ll get to it ASAP!”
(this is even before we asked for a testimonial).
Sarah, NYC
Sarah worked with us on two out of her four schools. Of the schools she applied, she was accepted to both we helped her with; Darden and Duke. Over the past two weeks, these are the emails we recieved;
“Yes! Sorry, thought I texted you. I got into Duke! Still waiting on UVA”
(two weeks later) “Accepted at Darden! Now it’s decision time…”

Anish, South Dakota
Hello Schuyler … Thanks a ton…. I have reviewed my essays and you magically just made so many words disappear without taking away any meaning. I have printed and reviewed my application twice until now and to my surprise, there is nothing that I have wanted to change. I am so happy that you helped me get my essays to this level, they are very professional and no ambiguity at all.
I want to thank you for asking me the right questions and giving the comments that helped me think deep and write my best application. I am very confident in submitting this application as I feel that this is my best.
Thank you sooooooooo much!!! I feel lucky that I had you helping in my essays.

“I feel the editing process from the USC essays has helped mold me into a better writer for this essay and for subsequent application essays. Thanks for all your help and the quick turnaround.”
“Without your help, my essays would not have come close to the finished product you helped me produce.”

Tim, NC
“I was gonna tell you over the phone that I couldn’t have done it w/o your help, man. I mean, looking back on it, I would have paid $500 or $600 if I had to. It was the best $425 I’ve ever paid in my life! Your help was just tremendous!!”
“I said, Brett, I couldn’t have done such a decent job w/o your help. I’m not sure what your professional goal is but I think you’ll be a great consultant!”
- Tim worked with us using an Essay Finalization Package for one school

Rohit, Prague
“I have submitted the application. At this point, I am little bit relaxed and thinking how tough it would be for me to manage this whole process without your help and support.
A big thanks to you especially for today’s 11th hour help.
I look forward to work on other 4 applications.
“Thanks for your excellent support”
- Rohit worked with us for 5 school with the Full Service Consulting Package
Rachel, NYC
“But thank you SO much – would have been terrible without your help!”
“By the way – thanks again so much. I read through your comments on my Why MBA essay – it was so thought out but also sort of fun to read (mainly I like that you compared my ‘I believe’ comments to MLK, kidding). Just wanted to say thanks again!”
“Comments helped a ton! I’m feeling like after I cut this one down maybe one more review and its good to go!”
Jay, USA
“As a die hard fan of Joker, I should say , ” You complete me”. You are really putting a lot for all these stuff man.”
Amit, Chicago
“You are really working on these essays man! I have heard horror stories bout admission consultants but so far you are proving me wrong. I promise a bottle of Glenfiddich -21 years (Don’t tell me like most of the Americans you are a Borboun person) if by God/Lucifer willing, I got thru Booth.”
Kate, NYC
“The ability to work remotely allowed me to ask questions on an as needed basis and their responses were always timely and incredibly thoughtful.”
Sarah, NYC
“I knew it [Customized Application Work Plan] was the perfect solution for turning my thoughts and ideas about the business school application process into actions. Getting all the steps onto paper in an organized way was extremely therapeutic and establishing a sensible timeline for completing the work alleviated a tremendous amount of anxiety. The system allows you to take the weight of a substantial size project off of your shoulders and instead think about the process as a few tasks/steps forward per day. Not only has this lowered my stress level, but it has also maximized my productivity and focus so that I am spending far less time and energy on worrying and spending far more on doing. Furthermore, thinking about the big picture before you actually begin ensures that you will not miss any important steps or deadlines. I highly recommend this system for anyone who is seriously committed to submitting a stellar business school application.”
Shane, NYC
“I was lucky to work with Brett Nowak, the founder of Ivy Application Success. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the application process. He offered unconventional, yet extremely effective advice. If you’re looking for a program that will help you with your unique goals I would highly recommend Ivy App. Through the entire process I felt like Brett really listened to what I was saying and tailored his advice to best help me. Another great resource at Ivy App is the network that the employees have built. Brett was able to put me in touch with the head of admissions at Yale SOM. I wasn’t even going to apply to Yale because of my test scores, but Brett convinced me that there are other, more effective ways to stand out in your application. My only regret is not applying to Columbia as well.”
Matt, Boston
“I used Ivy App Success for my application process and it was amazing. Their ability to answer questions about all facets of the application process from essays to GMATs to recommendations was truly great.”
