Press Release Summary: 10-point strategy sends clients to the head of the class

IvyEdge, the premier college and graduate-school consulting company, offers
guidance, counseling and essay preparation to get prospective students into the
school of their dreams.

Press Release Body: New Haven, CT (August 7, 2008) - Armed with a refined, engaging
and thought-provoking admissions essay, a fair student becomes outstanding, an
average student becomes phenomenal, and an exceptional student becomes heroic.

That's why, on the cusp of a new Ivy League college-admission season, IvyEdge has
unveiled its new early-bird all-inclusive admissions consulting package. For a small
fraction of the cost of one year's tuition, IvyEdge will offer guidance and
consulting as well as essay preparation and editing.

With some 90 percent of prospective students about to be denied admission to the
nation's finest universities for the 2008-09 academic year, IvyEdge's team of former
admissions deans, heads of university clubs and professional admissions consultants
are set to propel their clients ahead of the competition. Since 1998, IvyEdge has
been the premier college and graduate-school consulting company on the planet.

The vast majority of students applying to these universities have extraordinary
standardized test scores, glowing recommendations, phenomenal grade-point averages
and numerous extracurricular activities. That's why IvyEdge puts so much emphasis on
the admissions essay to send their clients to the head of the class and leave an
indelible impression on an admissions committee.

Roughly one in four applicants to U.S. colleges, business schools, medical schools,
law schools and graduate schools use an admissions consultant. By 2010, that number
is estimated to be as high as one in three. That's why the seasoned consultants at
IvyEdge have developed a 10-point strategy to give their clients an edge over the
competition in the admissions game.

At the heart of IvyEdge's college consultation is guidance on an often ill-regarded
aspect of admissions - essays! IvyEdge's consultants lead clients through the essay
process, including finding proper topics, brainstorming and draft-writing. Then,
IvyEdge will take all the liberty required to make the essay sing.

In addition to offering expertise on financial aid, scholarships, application timing
and, if necessary, waitlist strategies - as well as "everything in between" -
IvyEdge also provides consulting on:
* School Selection: IvyEdge creates a list of schools based on a student's
preference, capabilities, geography, intended concentration and other relevant
factors. IvyEdge also counsels on where to enroll when more than one application is
accepted!
* Recommendation Letters: IvyEdge advises clients on whom to approach for
recommendation letters and, when possible, helps in their creation.
* Volunteer/Community Enhancement: Applicants' commitment to their community can
make or break an application. If necessary, IvyEdge will help find a volunteer
opportunity that won't take months to complete, yet won't appear to be a
"last-ditch" effort to appease admissions committees.
* Mock Interviews: Armed with questions gleaned from more than 3,000 of their
consulting clients, IvyEdge offers each client a lengthy mock interview over the
phone to ensure clients are fully prepared for the real thing.
