History
When Ms. Wan Qiu Chen, President of IvyClimbing Education Services, was approached by parents in her church at the River of Life Christian Church in Santa Clara, California to comment on their children's college applications, she was serving as the Director for the Administration of the Ph.D. Program at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, with responsibilities for admissions and recruiting. Many of the parents were immigrants who received their education outside the United States; they did not understand how the American college system works, nor how to effectively guide their children through an extremely competitive and confusing process. Gradually, giving free advice was no longer an option. Inspired by the people surrounding her, she founded IvyClimbing Education Services in 2006, a company aimed at simplifying the admissions process and helping students get into college.
