Zurich College Consulting

Zurich College Admissions Counseling: A Brief Overview

Welcome to Zurich, a city where the precision of a Swiss watch meets the comfort of a creamy fondue! It’s a place where students from the prestigious Zürich International School and the esteemed Institut Montana Zugerberg aren’t just busy skiing down perfect Alpine slopes; they are also, metaphorically, trying to navigate the often slippery path to top US colleges.

But let’s face it, the climb to college admissions can feel less like a pleasant hike in the Swiss Alps and more like an unforgiving ascent of the Matterhorn.

We understand that standing out in the sea of applications to top colleges requires more than just ticking off boxes on a checklist. It requires personalized strategy, a distinct narrative, and showcasing your unique potential. This is where IvySummit comes into play. With over two decades of experience and an elite team comprising former elite college admissions officers and alumni, we have mastered the application process and have helped many Swiss students navigate their way through it.

Our Method

At IvySummit, we recognize that cookie-cutter applications are about as appealing as a flat soufflé. What makes an application tantalizing to admissions officers is the delicate balance of academic rigor, personal passion, and distinctiveness. We’re here to bring our collective wisdom and proven strategies to your application process.

Creating a Timeline

Many students make the mistake of underestimating the intricacy of the process, leading to last-minute panic and a rushed application. Remember, crafting a stellar college application is a marathon, not a sprint.

IvySummit’s timeline service guides you to manage your time with Swiss precision. We map out a personalized timeline that fits your academic calendar, extracurricular commitments, and even allows you to still enjoy that weekend ski trip! From application deadlines to test prep, we keep you on track.

Extra-curricular Activities

International students often mistake the notion of expanding extracurriculars to mean joining every club, sport, and society available, resulting in a scattershot approach that can dilute their unique individual passions. However, a compelling college application requires depth, not breadth.

At IvySummit, we guide our students to move away from a wide range of unrelated activities and instead focus on honing one or two unique passions. With us, your application will stand out, reflecting your true self and your unique interests, catching the eye of admissions officers.

College Lists

A College List sounds simple, doesn’t it? Just jot down the names of your dream universities and voila! But in reality, it’s more like a complex equation where you must balance ambition with pragmatism. You have to make sure you have a healthy number of safeties, targets and reaches available depending on your unique profile.

At IvySummit, we help you hit that sweet spot. We assist you in building a balanced list that is both aspirational and achievable. Our team, stacked with ex-admissions officers and alumni from elite colleges, utilize their inside knowledge to guide you. We help identify the colleges that value your unique skills and passions, align with your long-term goals, and most importantly, where you’ll thrive.

Essay Execution

When it comes to the art of essay execution, a common misstep by students is either treating it like a run-of-the-mill school assignment or a chance to write the next great literary masterpiece. The truth? It’s neither. 

Your college essay is your golden opportunity to showcase who you are, what sets you apart, and why a college campus would be a lesser place without you.

At IvySummit, we guide students to craft compelling narratives that illuminate their unique story. Our team, which includes alumni from elite colleges and ex-admissions officers, brings in decades of experience to help you portray your genuine self in your essays. We work with you to refine your voice, make your story resonate, and ultimately, connect on a personal level with the admissions officers reading your work.
