This book has truly helped me focus on the step by step pathway to making sure I am succeeding on my path to college. It has granted me more knowledge, but also self-awareness and so many useful tips! The writing of Amy Jin is truly tremendous! she keeps everything detailed and simple but also takes in to account the emotional aspects that appear on the route to your dream school! I recommend this to every teenager who still has some doubts about the application process and their place in future Ivys, but still wants to make the best out of the remaining time before applying and is keen on applying the tools presented in this book.

I am an international student that almost lost hope in US college admission because I had always felt like I'm not an 'Ivy material' kid. However, this book was able to restore the passion in me, and made me realize that there's no standard face of an Ivy material kid because it's not solely about academic and scores. The book was very insightful and I was able to learn and figure out lots of possible ways to make myself stand-out of the applicant pool. Moreover, when I'm in doubt, I always re-read the book because it really is uplifting and encouraging! I highly recommend this book!

I’m a rising junior in high school and ever since I was in elementary school, one of my biggest goals has been to get into an Ivy school or a school like John Hopkins University. The fact Amy did not let any challenges throughout the way stop her from publishing this is truly inspiring. It’s organized so well and broken down in a way that every makes sense no matter what point in your education you’re in. Reading this has gave me the extra motivation to finish as a successful student in 2023. I now have the right tools and mindset to move forward thanks to this Future Ivy book :)

Since I was on elementary school I’ve always wanted to go to an Ivy League but even then I was really confused of every step that would take me closer to it. Future Ivy definitely helped me to have more clearance of my goals and plans for the future. This is definitely the book any middle or high schooler should have for guidance and constructive advice. ❤️

I loved the book!, especially the examples using the system and different student stories.
The chapter I liked the most so far is chapter 9, I've always seen networking as something impossible, especially during the pandemic, but I felt really motivated when I read this chapter, the tips given are amazing.

I have found the book to be a great help! It is definitely a must-read for anyone who hopes to one day attend an Ivy League school. My favorite sections of the book are the ones that provide you specific examples and templates. Recently, I used one of the templates to reach out to a potential mentor and received a reply. Thanks, Amy!
