build the spike that gets your kid into top schools.

Top colleges don't want well-rounded. They want distinctive. Ivy helps your kid build a narrow, deep extracurricular story — starting as early as 8th grade — so their application is absurdly strong by the time they apply.

activities, honors, and essays all come from the same place: what your kid actually does for 4 years. that's what ivy builds — week by week, starting as early as 8th grade.

three tools that build an absurdly strong application

◎

spike analysis

Classify activities into T1-T4 tiers. Measure coherence across 4 metrics. Get 3 strategic spike directions with positioning statements. See exactly what to add, elevate, or drop.

Every week, Ivy tells you exactly what to do next — from exploring interests in 9th to sharpening a T1 spike by 11th.

◆

data explorer

2,000+ real student profiles with admissions outcomes. Filter by spike type, GPA, school, demographics. Scattergrams, grade-by-grade ladders, peer comparison. Like Naviance but better.

See what successful students did at every stage — grade-by-grade ladders show whether you're ahead, behind, or right on track.

◇

college research

200+ schools with real CDS data. Filter by selectivity, merit aid, region. See where your stats land in each school's middle-50. Save and compare.

Start building a fit list early. Refine as your stats and spike develop. No scrambling in senior year.
