IvyWise is a for-profit New York educational consulting firm, founded in 1998 by Katherine L. Cohen.[1] It is a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association.
As a private educational consulting firm IvyWise is often included in news stories about the controversy surrounding the use of private educational consultants and the issue of a level playing field for all students.[2] The firm was involved in the Kaavya Viswanathan plagiarism controversy as the organization that referred Viswanathan to the William Morris Agency and 17th Street Productions.[3][4][5]

Before the scandal hit, Viswanathan emphasized that her own route to Harvard was not as obsessively scripted as Opal's [...] The project got its impetus from none other than Viswanathan's professional college packager Katherine Cohen, a founder of IvyWise, a premier outfit that choreographs the college application process from ninth grade onward, and, crucially, helps produce essays that convey students' "passions."
