Our Story
Ivy Advisors started when Lulu Curiel, who graduated with an MBA from Harvard Business School, helped her friends with their college, MBA, and graduate school applications. She discovered that there were a number of admissions myths, and a lack of reliable resources to help close the information gap. She created Ivy Advisors with the goal of doing things the ethical way. Ivy Advisors centers on the uniqueness of the applicant and helps each applicant put forward the best version of themselves.
Education Should be a Level Playing Field
Ivy Advisors is armed with dedicated leadership coaches who help clients with varying socio-economic backgrounds navigate through the rigorous MBA admissions process. Our team has designed coaching programs that address the needs of all applicants, and has helped hundreds of people from around the world with varying income levels gain admission to top MBA programs.
