Free Consultations on Hold

Free Consultations on Hold December 19 We are putting our free 20-minute consultations on hold until the New Year as the holidays are our busiest time of year. We are temporarily suspending our 20-minute free college admissions consultations to discuss our service offerings. This will remain in effect until the New Year. And although we love chatting with parents from all over the world and hearing all about the miraculous achievements of their children,  the holidays mark our busiest time of the year. As a side note, we often wonder why parents call us to brag about their children. Wouldnt it be more productive to hear our advice rather than simply to tell us how your daughter is so smart, so athletic, and so musically gifted? Oy vey. Who are these parents trying to impress? It never ceases to amaze us! Never. Some people call us for a free consultation and become our clients. Some people call us for a free consultation and never become our clients. Sometimes were not interested in working with certain parents, like those with unreasonable expectations. We cant help a D student get into Duke. Unless that student is on Melinda Gates list. Then, well talk as its a possibility, as absurd as that may seem. All of this that weve described above is part of business but our free consultations are time out of our lives and so for those who dont say thank you after our 20-minute chat, thats not very nice. And it never ceases to amaze us how many dont say thank you. It goes a long way. If youre still interested in working with Ivy Coach in the days ahead, leading up to the Regular Decision deadline on January 1st, we are indeed availablealthough time is of the essence and this may not be the case in a few days since our resources are limited. So fill out our free consultation form and well be in touch. We look forward to hearing from you. And happy holidays to you and yours!
