Ivy Coach

Ivy Coach is featured in today's @TheEconomist on how international enrollment at America's top universities, despite much hullabaloo in recent months, has held steady. economist.com/graphic-detail…

@Harvard, your drop in Jewish enrollment is freightening: freebeacon.com/campus/harvard…

Wondering how not to approach penning a Letter of Continued Interest after waitlists? Check out the Epstein files. This young woman's letter notes how "extremely busy" she is. And she writes about her "strong marks." What teenager uses the term marks? justice.gov/epstein/files/…

Hey @BrownUniversity - we too want to know why you're scrubbing a Palestinian activist from your site? What was said before the shooter fired the shots? Should your endowment have been used as a political football to negotiate with a group of students in an encampment?

"Essay questions nudging students to describe their 'lived experience' proliferated after the Supreme Court ruling and became known as the Chief Justice Roberts Loophole‚ said Ivy Coach's Jayson Weingarten. @BostonGlobe @brookehauser bostonglobe.com/2025/12/12/met…

If your child receives a deferral or rejection in the Early Action/Decision round, it's time for Ivy Coach's PostMortem. youtube.com/watch?v=SeTeu2…

We can envision Penn's former president testifying before Congress, "Because this email hack was not directed, severe, and pervasive, it does not violate Penn’s code of conduct..." nypost.com/2025/11/01/us-…

Ivy Coach stands with @Tulane for enforcing its Early Decision policy. A commitment is a commitment. nytimes.com/2025/10/26/bus…

@UMich, one of our nation's top public universities and long used as an early round backup to Ivy League and elite college applicants, has now added a binding Early Decision policy to their already existing Early Action policy. Good for Michigan! record.umich.edu/articles/u-m-t…

“There is no university in America that is as difficult to earn admission to as Harvard — no matter your demographics,” said Brian Taylor of Ivy Coach. “President Trump’s math in this case simply doesn’t add up.” @melissa_goldin @AP apnews.com/article/harvar…

What a week for Villanova graduates

What a 24 hours for @VillanovaU. First, alums Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges lead the Knicks to their second last-second upset of the Celtics and now another alum's been elected Pope. Will it lead to a spike in applications to Nova? Our crystal ball predicts...yes!

Hell froze over. @gogeorgetown is joining The Common App. Here's a look back at Georgetown's longtime admissions leader. In the world of elite college admissions, his is a profile in courage. ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-…

It shouldn't have taken the threat of losing $400m for @Columbia to do the right thing. nytimes.com/2025/03/21/nyr…

In 2024, Ivy Coach's Jayson Weingarten coined UChicago's new Early Decision policy: "ED0." Today, he's coined a new term: "RD2." @AtBennington claims American literati like Donna Tartt and Brett Easton Ellis. And it now also lays claim to RD2. bennington.edu/admissions/app…

Some elite colleges favor male applicants to achieve gender balance. Others favor women. And some don’t seem to care. Get the inside story @bestcolleges. @TopTierAdmit @IvyCoach #highered bestcolleges.com/news/gender-in…

Ding dong! Columbia has let antisemitism pervade its campus life for far too long. It's about time their administration is held to account for their despicable indifference. wsj.com/us-news/educat…
