Doha College Consulting
Doha Admissions Counseling
Where sand dunes kiss the horizon and skyscrapers reach for the stars, that’s where you find Doha, a city that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. This city is home to some top-notch educational institutions, with the likes of Qatar International School and Doha British School, that are molding the minds of tomorrow. But just as the dynamic cityscape of Doha, the college application journey also presents a beautiful fusion of challenges and opportunities.
For the past 20 years we’ve been guiding the top minds around the world and in Doha on their journey to elite US colleges. Welcome to IvySummit, the place where dream college destinations transform into realities.
Our Strategy
Our team of seasoned advisors, with their deep-rooted experience in the process, can be the guiding star in your quest. They know the ins and outs of the application process, much like a seasoned merchant navigating the alleys of Souq Waqif. Their expertise can give you the much-needed edge in the competitive landscape of college applications.
Essays
Essays, the heart and soul of any application, are your golden opportunity to give admission officers a glimpse of who you truly are beyond your grades and test scores.
Crafting a compelling essay is similar to creating a fine piece of art. You can’t simply brush over it with broad strokes of ‘good grades’ and ‘hard work’. It requires finesse and attention to detail, using every word to paint a vivid image that resonates with the reader. It’s about showcasing your unique perspective, sharing your story in a way that’s compelling, authentic, and thoroughly ‘you’.
Our experienced advisors can help you delve deep into your personal narrative, mine it for the gems that make your story unique, and polish them until they shine brightly on the canvas of your essay. We’re here to guide you through the process, helping you transform your thoughts and experiences into a compelling narrative that leaves a lasting impression.
Expanding Extracurriculars
Extracurriculars provide a platform to showcase your talents, interests, and commitment outside the confines of the classroom. More importantly, they demonstrate that you are more than just a collection of grades and test scores, but a well-rounded individual with diverse interests and a zest for life.
But here’s the catch: not all extracurriculars are created equal. Colleges are not looking for a jack-of-all-trades, but rather, students who show depth and commitment in their areas of interest. This doesn’t mean you need to be the captain of five sports teams or president of ten clubs. It’s about quality over quantity, passion over participation.
At IvySummit, we understand this. Our advisors can help you identify and build upon your interests, advising you on how to deepen your involvement and make meaningful contributions. We help you create a narrative around your activities, one that tells a compelling story of your passion, dedication, and personal growth.
College list
Just like crafting the perfect itinerary for exploring Doha, creating an optimal college list requires careful thought and planning. It’s not about simply listing the top-ranked universities or the ones with the best-sounding names. A well-constructed college list reflects your academic aspirations, career goals, and personal preferences. It should have a balanced mix of reach, match, and safety schools to maximize your chances of acceptance.
At IvySummit, we work closely with you to build such a list. We consider a multitude of factors such as academic programs, campus culture, financial aid possibilities, geographical location, and many more. Our goal is to guide you towards schools where you will flourish physically, mentally, and academically.
Intellectual Vitality
Intellectual vitality: it’s a term tossed around by college admissions officers, but what does it really mean? It’s not just about being book-smart or acing exams. It’s about curiosity, enthusiasm for learning, and a passion that extends beyond the confines of the classroom. It’s the spark that lights up your eyes when you talk about your favorite book, the extra research you did for a project because you found the topic fascinating, or the coding you taught yourself because you wanted to build a useful app.
Admissions officers at top universities are looking for students who don’t just absorb information but engage with it, question it, and apply it in innovative ways. At IvySummit, we help you showcase your intellectual vitality in your applications. We help you demonstrate your curiosity, your commitment to your interests, and your ability to think critically and creatively.
