Who is this for?

We built this program for high school students facing these challenges:

Lost In Your Admissions Journey

Are you feeling lost with the ever-changing college admissions landscape? Are you confused about what colleges are looking for in their ideal students? With twenty years of industry experience, I’ll direct you through my proven step-by-step method and key admissions strategies to stand out among the tens of thousands of applicants.

Stressed Out of Not Meeting Application Deadlines

Are you feeling stressed with the amount of work required to complete college applications, and overwhelmed that you might not submit them on time? Follow a detailed and methodical plan to seamlessly meet early and regular application deadlines.

Difficulty Crafting Compelling Essays

Do you worry about writing essays that truly stand out? Hiring an English tutor will only fix your grammar mistakes. However, to create winning essays, you need an expert college essay writer who has edited over 3000 essays. Craft personalized essays without the risks associated with using AI tools through my skillful essay guidance.

Feeling Isolated and Alone

Do you feel alone in your high school to college journey without the proper guidance and support needed for each step? Alongside myself, you’ll connect with a community of peers who share similar experiences and offer encouragement through this journey, alleviating the challenges of the daunting college admissions process.

Fear of Being Rejected by a College

Are you asking yourself the nightmarish question of “What if I don’t get admitted?” Overcome this debilitating fear of rejection or questioning if your efforts are enough to compete with other applicants. I’ll equip you with strategic college advice and preparation techniques that boost your confidence and improve your chances of admission.

Answers to your most pressing questions

What is the benefit of joining these private coaching groups?

Well, for one thing you are getting one-on-one college advising for fraction of the price. So it is affordable for all! Moreover, Ruchi S. Kothari will answer all your college admissions questions, provide guidance and support throughout the process, give access to a platform to strengthen your extracurriculars or passion projects, and offer multiple perspectives from college admissions officers, industry experts, and college students who recently went through this process.

What topic areas will be covered?

A plethora of topics will be covered that pertain to your admissions strategy and completing and submitting college applications.

Group for 8th-10th graders: These topics include: admissions strategy, academic theme, course selection, standardized tests, extracurricular activities, passion project, summer programs, letters of recommendation, international admissions, industry insight, and much more.

Group for Class of 2027: These topics include: college list, application strategy, personal statement, supplemental essays, Common App, activity section, completing other online application portals, letters of recommendation, standardized tests, international admissions, deferrals, waitlists, industry insight, and much more.

What results can I expect?

If you put the time and effort into attending live Zoom sessions covering various college application topics and completing the lessons, IvyBound sheets, exercises, and bonuses I provide, you will get closer to the results you are seeking.

During your time within both groups, I do offer additional services, like college list analysis, essay review and editing services, mock interviews, activity section assessment, and other goodies for a special price to this community to achieve better and faster results. You are not obligated to purchase these additional products and services and can still get admitted to the colleges of your choice through my guidance in this group.

I cannot guarantee that you’ll get into the Ivy Leagues or any other college for that matter. But I can surely help you navigate through the college admissions process so that you may craft compelling applications that won’t be thrown out at the first go and stand out among the thousands of applicants who apply to the same colleges. In fact, no one, no college counselor, can guarantee admission to any college. And, if someone promises that, my friend, I would be very careful working with them.

I promise to support you on your college admissions journey to the best of my ability and help you be admitted to the colleges of your dreams. With your participation in this community and if you do your work, you will be closer to enrolling in one of the colleges on your list. Indeed, 98% of our students have gotten into their top-choice colleges. They were admitted to the top US colleges, including the eight Ivy Leagues (Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell), Stanford, MIT, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Tulane, University of Miami, NYU, Northwestern, Barnard, William & Mary, Northeastern, and more.

How long do I have access to the private group?

You will have access to this highly-motivated and supportive community according to the plan you choose: annually or monthly. If you paid $99 and only stayed for the first one month, then you will get access for that time only. My goal is to help high schoolers through each part of the college admissions and application process seamlessly while reducing overwhelm and anxiety that comes with this process.

What is the difference between “annual” and “monthly” subscriptions?

After receiving a great deal of your first month of paying only $99, you have an option of joining the annual or monthly plan. An “annual” subscription enrolls you for a year from the date you registered for the community. The benefit of signing on to an “annual” subscription is that you’ll receive one month free, only paying for eleven months and receive special bonuses along the way. 

A “monthly” subscription is a subscription billed monthly. There are no special offers for monthly subscriptions.

Once I purchase a subscription, can I transfer from one subscription to another?

No. You may not transfer your subscriptions, so choose wisely. Nevertheless, remember you are literally getting one-on-one college admissions counseling without spending thousands of dollars. Pretty great, right?

What is your refund policy?

We hope you find value in this special community. We understand that investing in your educational future is a big decision. That’s why we’ve eliminated ALL RISK from this equation and do not require monthly members to commit to more than one month at a time! However, it is important to note that no refunds are granted for “annual” membership purchases due to the discount and other bonuses you will receive.

Can this information be shared with friends and family?

I would love for you to share the value of this private coaching group with your friends, family, and other high schoolers so that I may continue to help more students reach their educational potential. Sharing the content of this community will not do justice and bring the same results to the student tagging along because I will not be able to work personally with the student and provide them the college admissions knowledge or constant support this student may need. So don’t do it. Moreover, copying or sharing any content of these private groups is copyright infringement and a violation of the law. So don’t commit a crime!

How can I spread the word?

Please join our social community and share the immense value and the results these private coaching groups bring to your friends, family, or contacts. Enable me to help more students reach their college(s) of choice. This would be super!

As an added incentive to my current students, if a friend or family member signs up for any IvyBound Consulting products or services, you will receive 10% off your future purchase of any IvyBound Consulting product or service (with a maximum redemption value of $200).
