THE IVY TABLE
A COUNSELLING CONVERSATION
One hour. One table. Every question, finally answered.
Most families spend months circling the same questions about universities, courses, costs and timelines — without ever sitting down to actually answer them.
This session does it in one hour.
Over tea or coffee, with the people who matter — you and your parents — in one room, one conversation, till everything makes sense.
Here's the truth: most families walk into admissions season with fragments — a few university names, some half-formed ideas about courses, a lot of unanswered questions about cost and timing. The Ivy Table pulls it all together.
In this one hour, we cover:
- • India or overseas — an honest look at what's right for your goals and circumstances
- • Board selection — IB, IGCSE, CBSE, or otherwise, and what each path opens up
- • Subject and stream selection, mapped to where you want to end up
- • Where your profile stands today — and where it needs to go
- • Which universities and courses genuinely fit your ambitions
- • What the realistic timeline looks like, from now to offer day
- • What it will cost, and how families plan for it
- • The honest answers to whatever's been keeping you up at night
No slides. No sales pitch. Just clarity — the kind that usually takes families months to arrive at on their own.
Backed by results at Harvard, Oxford, Imperial College London, the IIMs, NLUs, and India's top colleges — this is where your family's Dream Ivy journey begins.
