(1) If you do some researches on the number of international students admitted by Ivy colleges, you will find that their incoming classes have around 8% of international students. On average, the class size of each Ivy college is around 1,200 to 1,600, with the exception that Cornell admits 3,200 and UPenn admits 2,400 freshmen each year. Take the example of Cornell, the international students it admits each year is about 300 while the other Ivies admit about 130 to 150. On average, they could only admit one student from one country. I have to stress that it is just an average figures. Assuming each college admits 2 HK students (not holding US passport), the total number of student (not holding US passport) is around 15 to 20. There are at least more than 100 local students have the statistics I mentioned (or its equivalent, such as IB 42 or above, or 4 to 4A* (A-level) plus 9 to 11 A to A (IGCSE). If you do not have the statitics (which I think is minimum), the chance of being admitted is very slim with or without the assistance from a college consultants. If you hold an US passports, you will be in the other pool. Each colleges admits more than 1,400 students, you will have better chance.
(2) If you have the statistics I mentioned and hold a US passport, it is worthwhile to engage an admission consultant although I doubt very much about the effect. If the consultant is of ethics, he cannot write any application essay for you. He can only explain and advise you the best way to make a very competitive application., You will find the same information from books.
