Jewish Students at Princeton

Jewish Students at Princeton November 12 Ivy Coach was cited  in an article of CNBC. We also were cited on live TV on the worlds top business channel. One of our former cases an old one has been referenced on the pages of CNBC in an article entitled How much would you pay to get your kid in Harvard? that we figured wed share with our readers. It should be noted that this case, as it appears on our case study page, is from several years ago, when Yale was under an Early Decision policy and back when Princetons Jewish population was only around 7.5%. Princetons Jewish population now hovers at around 13% for its undergraduate student body (perhaps this rise is because so many Jewish moms and dads read our blog and have been encouraging their kids to apply to Princeton over the years based on our advice?). Anyhow, as quoted in the CNBC piece, Sam, an orthodox Jewish student with an A average and between a 720 and 740 on each section of his SATs clearly understands the importance of understanding the stats. After being deferred from the early decision pool at Yale, he contacted Ivy Coach,  a private college counseling practice in Ne w York City, who advised him that Yale has a student body that is almost 30 percent Jewish and that his application brought no diversity to the school. Ivy Coach encouraged him instead to apply to Princeton, where the undergraduate Jewish population is only about 7.5 percent. He was accepted. Its a representative case example of the kinds of ways in which we at Ivy Coach help our students. We know that Princeton University doesnt have as many Jewish students as Yale University, that Jewish mothers and fathers are less likely to send their children to Princeton than they are to Yale. Were aware of these numbers and trends. We are veritable data miners. So we help our students overcome the odds  that are stacked against them by stacking the deck in their favor. Weve got lots of this kind of expertise. Since CNBC happened to publish this case example, weve written about it on our college admissions blog but the vast majority of our most valuable expertise we leave off the pages of our blog. And thats because were a business. While we love giving out free information, the juicy stuff we keep to ourselvesand to our clients. So thanks for reading our blog. We appreciate your loyal readership. But if you dont intend to become a client of ours and thats totally ok know that y oue missing out on giving your child a big advantage in the admissions process. And as to our web traffic cited in the article, thats a total typo. We get way more traffic than that. We might get that kind of traffic in a couple of hoursnot a whole day! Oy vey. But as the high schoolers like to say, Whatever. Also, while youre here, read our related post entitled Ivy League Reject.
