“The best thing I did was contact Crimson in my penultimate year. They helped me weigh up my options so that I could make a decision that best suited my interests.”
Willem E. Harvard University
“Crimson offered me a wide package of tools which I could utilise to secure some amazing opportunities in the US. It wasn’t just the standardised tests or the extracurriculars, Crimson offered me support in every area of my application.”
Antonia Y. Duke University
“Without Crimson I wouldn't have had as many options. I think it's very professional. It just feels like we're all communicating together and being able to ask pretty much anyone, at any time, questions.”
Tallulah F. University of Colorado-Boulder
“Crimson was great in helping me understand that grades are just as, if not more important than, your sports performance. They talked me through the SATs and made sure I was focused on my studies”.
Molly F. Bethel University
"When it came down to negotiating with the coaches, Crimson was key. I had never done this sort of thing before so to have their advice and constant support 24/7 really made a difference."
