Why Harvard? And Why So Few Get In.

Harvard’s 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio and globally renowned graduate schools make it the ultimate academic destination for future leaders. But with an acceptance rate hovering near 3%, top Canadian applicants are often competing against thousands of identically qualified peers from around the world. Harvard Admissions Officers aren't just looking for smart students; they are looking for institutional impact. We decode the Harvard admissions rubric to help your child demonstrate leadership, intellectual vitality, and a narrative that goes far beyond a 4.0 GPA.

The Strategy by Major

Whether your child is drawn to the complexities of global markets or the cutting edge of quantitative research, applying to a popular concentration requires a highly differentiated profile. Here is how we help students build a narrative that Harvard notices:

Social Sciences

We help aspiring historians and economists build independent research projects and secure high-level internships that showcase deep critical analysis.

Biological and Biomedical Sciences

For future medical leaders, we guide students in securing competitive lab placements, publishing research, and demonstrating tangible impact in their local healthcare communities.

Mathematics & Statistics

We map out pathways to international Olympiads, advanced university-level coursework, and specialized STEM mentorships.

Computer and Information Sciences

Beyond coding, we help tech-focused students build proprietary apps, launch tech-based nonprofits, and solve real-world problems.

They Got In. Your Child Can Too.

My daughter started with Crimson her freshman year and I couldn't be happier. Crimson helped her come up with an amazing capstone project and are guiding her to be accepted to her dream school. It’s not a company for everyone—they help your kid come up with their own work, they don’t do it for them. Some people think that if you are paying, they should do all the work. That’s not what Crimson does. It’s a very serious coaching company. I only had great experiences with Crimson. Highly recommend.

My daughter as a rising senior is working with Crimson. The experience has been great. Their professionalism across different teams brings a lot of peace of mind to the applicant and the parents.

Student

I really enjoyed working with Crimson. When I first got into it, I didn't really understand what the hype was about. However, the guidance they gave me with my capstone and Common App Essay was much needed. I greatly appreciate their patience with me as well. My strategists were always extremely kind and helpful, as well as my essay and EC mentors. I'm so grateful for Crimson's help along the way.

My son was enrolled last year with Crimson Education. The entire multifunction team including the strategist is very professional, insightful, proactive and responsive. They provided timely reports including the quarterly summaries which is unexpected. They have guided the college application journey steadily. I feel much more relax and certainty with their instructions. Great team and support!
