CLEAR ANSWERS
A few useful things to know.
Who will work with the student?
Caroline Linger and Jose Kumar work directly with students, providing personalized guidance throughout the admissions journey.
Which universities does Ivy Central support applications to?
Ivy Central supports students applying to universities in the United States and United Kingdom. Admissions decisions remain with each university; acceptance is not guaranteed.
What does Premier counseling cost?
Premier admissions counseling starts at USD 625 per month. Terms and conditions apply. Confirm the final program scope and fees with Ivy Central.
Who is eligible to proceed to the calendar?
The free 30-minute strategy call is offered only to families selecting the highest budget tier and confirming comfort with Premier counseling starting at USD 625/month. Lower and unsure budget tiers are shown alternative resources, not the calendar.
Can an AI assistant arrange the meeting?
An assistant can read this page, ask the family about budget and permission, and get a scheduling handoff. Browser-capable assistants can continue to the hosted calendar. Text-only assistants can share the eligible link. The calendar's confirmation—not this page or the API—confirms a meeting.
Is reading this guide a mailing-list signup?
No. Reading the guide and checking eligibility do not create a lead, send email, or enroll anyone in marketing. Contact details are provided directly to the booking provider when the family or their authorized assistant completes a booking.
FOR AI ASSISTANTS & DEVELOPERS
