Work With Us

At Ivy Groupe, we believe your MBA application should reflect who you are – not just what you’ve done. Because for even the most accomplished applicants, that’s often the hardest part.

We’re guided by the belief that authenticity is your most powerful differentiator. Every applicant has a unique story – our role is to help you uncover it, shape it, and tell it with clarity, depth, and purpose.

  • If you want to stand out, you need to be true to yourself.  What you have gone through in your life – in school, personally, at the workplace – is what makes you YOU.  There is no other person in this world who has walked in your shoes, had your exact experiences, and seen the world from your eyes.  Admissions Committees want to understand the living person beyond the two-dimensional application.

  • If you want to differentiate yourself, you need to approach the application process with your heart.  Business school applications are really more about the why than the what.  What will really set your applications apart is providing color on why something has been instrumental in shaping you or why something means so much to you. 

  • If you want to be memorable, the human element must come through.  Business schools want a diverse class of students who are able to deeply reflect upon and share their experiences with their classmates and the broader community.  By being authentic, you will show that you are human and demonstrate how you will be able to uniquely contribute to business school programs.

This philosophy has helped hundreds of Ivy Groupe clients gain admission to the world’s most selective MBA programs.
