1-on-1 Coaching From Former Admissions Officers

Consulting with someone who sat inside an Ivy League or Oxbridge admissions room.

What is an FAO? And Why Are They a Total Game-Changer?

FAO stands for Former Admissions Officer.

These are not just “Education Consultants” or “Academic Advisors”. They are true insiders who used to sit inside the selection committees of Top universities. Direct, 1-on-1 access to a professional who actually worked inside the admissions office of your target university—reading, scoring, and voting on thousands of real applications. What Every Student Gains with Crimson:

01

Insider Intelligence: Tells you exactly what target schools are looking for, completely eliminating the guesswork.

02

The Committee Lens: Reviews your child’s entire application package through the eyes of a real admissions committee before it is submitted.

03

Crafting the Compelling Narrative: Position your child's essay story in the most compelling, authentic way possible.

04

Insider Interview Prep: Coaches your child through mock interviews the exact way an official interviewer would.

05

The 7.4x Difference: Crimson students are 7.4x more likely to receive an offer of admission than the average applicant.
