“Meeting Mr. Shipp was not a part of my plan, but definitely one of the best things that’s ever happened to me! I was behind when I came to him and he never panicked once. He showed endless support through the college process and was one of my biggest cheerleaders. Thanks to Mr. Shipp's guidance, I have leveled up my writing, confidence, and know myself better as a person. There wasn’t a time he wasn’t willing to answer a question or offer reassurance that it was all going to work out. I am forever grateful for our connection and the amazing mentor who helped me get into Howard University!”

"I am so thankful that I worked with Aaron from Ivy Edge. His guidance and support were crucial in helping me determine which school was my dream school and gain admission to it. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses. He provided valuable feedback on my essays that helped craft a strong application that highlighted my strengths and passions. I gained more and more confidence throughout the process knowing that Aaron was there to answer questions and provide support every step of the way. I can't thank him enough for his dedication and expertise, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs guidance for the college application process."

"When I first entered my junior year of high school, I was frightened by the admissions process. But thanks to Mr. Shipp's incredible support in the last two years, I have been able to produce great essays, be confident in interviews, and highlight my strengths to universities. Thank you for being my mentor during a very important time in my life and enabling me to surpass all challenges until I got accepted to my dream school, the University of Chicago."

"I started working with Mr. Shipp freshman year. Since then, Mr. Shipp effectively steered me through the many twists and turns of my high school career. Whenever I had an application deadline or interview coming up, I found solace in the fact that Mr. Shipp was there by my side as I prepared for these opportunities. I am a much stronger interviewee, a better writer, and an overall more confident person thanks to Mr. Shipp's continuous support. Without his mentorship, I likely would not be heading off to the Health Sciences program at Queen's University."

"Through our meetings, I learned not only what tone and style of writing would work best for me, but I was also taught more about myself through exercises involving self-reflection. I had a good selection of colleges to choose from and in the end, decided to attend Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. Once again, I want to thank you for being such a great mentor during such an important time in the admissions process."
