We are a boutique college admissions consulting service dedicated to helping high school students craft compelling narratives and strategic applications.

Every student works directly with our founder, Michael Torto. We believe in providing truly personalized 1-on-1 coaching, which means there are no associates and no handoffs.

We focus on the "story" behind the application. We work with students to develop powerful essays, curate strategic extracurricular profiles, and ensure their unique voice is heard by admissions officers.

Our proven approach has helped over 50 students gain acceptance into the Ivy League and more than 240 students secure spots at T20 schools.

Ivy League Stories offers personalized, one-on-one college admissions coaching built around your student’s unique story. From academic planning and extracurricular development in 9th grade to final essay polishes and interview prep in 12th grade, we work with students at every stage of the journey — at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

You can book a time for a free 30-min profile review directly through the link on this page.

You'll have a clear picture of where your student stands and what to do next, whether or not we work together. If it's a fit and you'd like to keep going, I'll walk you through the options. If not, the plan is yours to run with.
