Holiday is the Best Time to Make Real Progress

While most students treat the holiday as a break, top applicants use it as a strategic window to move forward. Building a strong university application takes consistent, intentional effort over time. Holidays give you the chance to do it right. But being busy isn’t enough. What matters most is direction: focusing on the right activities and developing them in ways universities value. That’s why we created this Holiday Planner—using the same framework that has helped Crimson students get into top universities. A clear, structured way to turn this holiday into real admissions progress.
