Hi everyone 🤍 When I started this group, the goal was to give ambitious students real, strategic admissions guidance for free — not just generic tips. And it’s been amazing to see so many of you take advantage of it. But as things have grown, I need to focus my time on students I work with directly — so this group will now function as a resource hub only, without active Q&A. ✅ How to Use This Group Now You still have access to two core resources: - 70+ strategy posts (all organized in the “One-Stop Hub” pinned post) - The free course module (located in the Classroom tab) Both are incredibly valuable and cover the kind of guidance students usually pay counselors for — so I highly recommend making the most of them. I may still share occasional updates or resources here, but I’ll no longer be answering individual application questions. 📲 Want to Keep Learning? That’s all happening on Instagram — @theivywizard. I post new tips, strategy breakdowns, and student examples there every week. If you’re serious about improving your application, make sure you’re following — that’s where most of the new content will be. 🎓 Want Personalized Help?
