Oxbridge
or Ivy League?
Why not both.
Most families treat these as two separate choices. The ones who land offers from Oxford and Cornell in the same cycle understand something others don't. A Former Cornell Admissions Officer tells you exactly how.

WHAT MOST FAMILIES DON'T KNOW
By the time most families start thinking, the decisions are already made.
The strongest applications are built over years — not in the weeks before a deadline. The subject choices, the activities, the narrative arc of who your child is: these are set long before anyone sits down to write.
Most UK families approaching this process for the first time don't realise that Oxbridge and the Ivy League reward fundamentally different things — and that getting into both isn't just possible, it requires being deliberate about it from the start.
This webinar changes that.
By the time most families start thinking about strategy, the key decisions have already been made. Subject choices, activities, the application narrative — these need to be in place months before anyone sits down to write.
Kevin DuPont · Former Admissions Officer, Cornell
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
In this free one-hour session with a former Cornell Admissions Officer.
01
Oxbridge vs Ivy League
The real differences in what each system rewards — and how admissions officers on both sides actually read an application. Where UK students win without knowing it. Where they lose.
02
Building a Dual Strategy
How to build one admissions profile that speaks to both audiences. No dilution, no compromise. One story that lands on both sides of the Atlantic.
03
Timeline & Planning
Which subject choices open both doors and which quietly close them. When to start, what to prioritise, and how to run the UK and US timelines in parallel without losing ground on either.
04
Case Studies & Live Q&A
Real families. Real outcomes. Kevin walks through dual-track success stories from students who have done exactly this — then takes your questions live.
ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
You'll hear directly from people who've been in the room.
Kevin DuPont
Former Admissions Officer · Cornell, UVA, UC Berkeley & Tufts
Most people giving advice about Ivy League admissions have read about it. Kevin made the decisions. With over nine years in career and university counselling, he has sat in committee rooms, read the applications that make it through and the ones that don't, and knows exactly what UK students need to do differently to compete.
