Graduate and Professional School Admissions

For students considering law school, Ivy Bound has specialist tutors for the LSAT. All have attained a top 2% LSAT score, know the modern LSAT well, and are adept at propelling students to high scores and, thus, better admissions.

For students considering medical school, Ivy Bound has MCAT tutors. You can enlist them for one or more of the MCAT subjects. You can choose to have them tutor from scratch or supplement another MCAT study course.

For students considering an MBA, Ivy Bound’s GMAT and GRE tutors help you study for one or both tests. GMAT scores are valid for at least five years before applying, so if the best time for studying is while you are in college (or on a summer break), we encourage any student who is 50% likely to apply in the next five years to post a strong GMAT score now. GMAT is best studied while in college when brains are most adept. Most students have more study time in college than they will once they begin working.

For Students considering Master’s or Ph.D. programs, Ivy Bound tutors help with the GRE. Ivy Bound might supply you with two tutors if you need to show a strong GRE subject test and the GRE general test. Our subject test tutors include those with specialties in:

GRE scores are valid for five years (or more), so studying while the subject is “hot” is wise. The GRE General Test can typically be studied for well at any time, but students who anticipate being busier in future semesters should consider doing the GRE right away. The general test demands no college-level subject matter — it is similar to the SAT. However, prestigious Ph.D. programs typically require higher GRE scores than colleges demand on the SAT.

Medical School

Are you planning to apply to medical school but are overwhelmed by the process? You’re not alone! Whether you’re applying to M.D. or D.O. programs, there’s a lot of writing involved and many moving pieces. At Ivy Bound, we can pair you with a tutor to work through your primary and secondary applications. Here’s what we offer:

Planning and brainstorming support:

We can help you select activities to highlight your best clinical and non-clinical experiences in the activities list. We can also help you with relevant anecdotes to include in the personal and most meaningful statements.

Drafting and Outlining:

Our tutors are here to help you create a compelling outline for the personal statement and offer feedback on the best angle, narrative, and argument for admission.

Revising:

 Once you have a draft, our tutors can help you revise it. Are you highlighting the most relevant examples? Is there a balance between reflection and evidence? Is it clear why you are motivated to attend medical school, and what prepares you for its rigor?

Secondary Process:

After submitting your primary application to AMCAS, schools invite you to complete supplemental essays. Since these require a quick, two-week turnaround, our tutors will be there to help edit and revise these essays throughout the summer. Tutors can also work with students to brainstorm for this process based on common essay prompts from previous cycles.
