The Ivy+ Path Process

GradPal is more than a teaching platform — it's a shared space for learners and educators to thrive

Exploration Phase

Instead of spending your time pursuing things that won't capture the admission's team interest, our team at Gradpal (including Harvard interviewers and admission readers) will help you build resumes that elite universities won't overlook.

Discover your unique academic and personal strengths that top universities value.

Pinpoint the leadership qualities that set you apart from thousands of other applicants.

Design Phase

Planning your path is just as important as walking it. Through the Ivy+ Path, we help you create a personalized blueprint for growth — one that ties your strengths to real-world impact.

Develop a structured plan to expand your influence and showcase your leadership growth.

Align academic and extracurricular activities to reflect intention, not guesswork.

Execution Phase

Build accomplishments that reflect depth and meaning, not just participation. At this stage, our team and your personal mentor will guide you through implementation, turning your plans into projects that carry weight in the admission process.

Launch and grow projects that highlight innovation and initiative.

Build accomplishments that reflect depth, not just participation.

Facilitation & Expansion

Everything you've built now needs the right positioning and connections. The world's best universities don't just admit strong students — they seek leaders with influence, networks, and impact.

Build and refine your personal narrative to showcase direction, passion, and drive.

Facilitate connections and expand your impact and influence, aligning your story with the expectations of the world's top universities.

Finalization

As application season approaches, precision is everything. Finalization ensures your essays, recommendations, and overall profile resonate with clarity and strength.

Frame your essays to capture the immediate attention of the application readers and admissions officers.

Polish every part of your application from fit to portfolio, storytelling, and presentation to ensure success.
