Questions, Answered.
Everything you need to know before deciding whether The Ivy League Challenge is the right next step.
Here’s what families usually ask before they begin.
My teen is already a junior. Is it too late?
No. Iris started at the end of junior year and got into Stanford. About half of each cohort consists of juniors. The key is starting now rather than waiting to make the most of the time available.
My teen is only in 8th or 9th grade. Should we wait?
Every junior who has taken this course has said, “I wish I started earlier.” Starting early means less stress later. Students also receive a digital token to retake the course during junior year.
How much time does this require?
Two hours per week for the live sessions, plus time for exercises and the impact project. Most students find they save time because they drop activities that were not serving them.
What if we miss a session?
All sessions are recorded. Most students miss one or two sessions due to conflicts, which is normal and expected.
My teen is not trying for Ivy League schools. Is this still relevant?
Absolutely. Many students are focused on scholarships, stronger college options, or simply aligning their life with their values. The same process helps them build a clearer, more authentic story.
How is this different from other college counseling?
Many counselors optimize for the impressiveness trap: more APs, more activities, and better test scores. This process helps students clarify who they are and create authentic impact, so their applications tell a coherent story.
