Hale Education Group to host academic all-stars at its annual "Ivy Insider" event
The event promises to deliver an inspiring array of talks and discussions, featuring graduating seniors and global university experts
Hale Education Group is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated 2025 Annual Ivy Insider event, set to take place on May 18 at the prestigious Sofitel Downtown. Now in its 9th year, the event promises to deliver an inspiring array of talks and discussions, featuring graduating seniors and global university experts sharing invaluable insights from their admissions journeys. Attendees can expect an insightful and enriching experience, with engaging panel discussions, interactive Q&A sessions, and informative breakout sessions.
The event will feature high achieving high school seniors accepted to Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, UPenn, UC Berkeley, Duke, Vanderbilt and other leading US universities. For the first time, Ivy Insider will also directly highlight the achievements and experiences of students who applied and secured acceptances to leading UK, Canadian, and Continental European universities, such as the London School of Economics, McGill, the University of British Columbia, Imperial, and IE Madrid.
"It's a wonderful forum for younger students to take inspiration directly from senior students that were able to achieve their higher education goals," states Peter Davos, founder and CEO of Hale Education Group. "The senior student panelists are the stars of the show, as they are able to communicate their journeys, including both setbacks and successes, directly with the audience, which is useful for both parents and students alike," he adds. Current and prospective students and parents can look forward to engaging discussions on the importance of building a well-curated extracurricular profile, creating a balanced college list, and making the most of research opportunities.
This past application cycle, Hale students received a record breaking 8 acceptances to Columbia University, the second most selective university in the Ivy League after Harvard University, over 100 acceptances to the University of California, 25 acceptances to the University of Southern California, and over 20 acceptances to King's College London. They were also able to secure in excess of Dh44 million in merit-based scholarships this year alone - another application season record - bringing Hale's total scholarships awarded to students to in excess of Dh300 million since its establishment in 2012.
