What Ivysion Provides

Program Selection

Program research focuses on alignment between academic background, research interests, professional goals, and institutional strengths. Selection emphasizes outcomes, faculty fit, and long term value.

Admissions Strategy

Graduate admissions review depth, intent, and readiness. Ivysion develops a structured admissions strategy built around program fit, academic positioning, testing requirements or waivers, application timelines, and funding cycles. Each student receives a clear roadmap with milestones and deadlines.

Testing Strategy

Ivysion advises on standardized testing pathways including GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and test optional or waiver strategies where appropriate. Planning considers timing, score goals, and retake decisions.
