What Does a Crimson Academic Advisor Actually Do?

Welcome to Crimson Education. Your ticket to an incredible life awaits.

The future is bright.

The world is your oyster.

Every cliche about a prosperous life can come true for you with the help of your Academic Advisor.

But what exactly is a Crimson Academic Advisor and what can they do for you?

Well, among other things, he or she can be the connection between the life you live now and the one you want to live.

But let's put all the cliches behind us and delve a little deeper to get to the more literal definition of an Academic Advisor.

So, what exactly is an Academic Advisor?

An Academic Advisor is not just a tutor and is so much more than a consultant.

A Crimson Academic Advisor is your first point of contact with the company, providing you with the information you need to gain admission into your dream college.

They can help you create specific education goals and strategies to achieve them by learning about who you are and discovering what obstacles or challenges might get in your way.

In doing so, your Academic Advisor becomes your source of support and guidance – your north star – and will help you choose a course of action to start moving towards achieving your dreams, no matter how big or small they may be.

Following your initial discussions and meetings, he or she will will give you a bird's eye view of your roadmap to college admission.

'But how?' you might be wondering.

Well, let me tell you:

What can an Academic Advisor do for me?

In your first meetings with Crimson, your Academic Advisor will work closely with you to analyse and assess your college candidacy.

This means they will ask you about:

• your grades
• the subjects and careers you're interested in
• your extracurricular activities
• your leadership skills
• whether you've sat any standardised tests like the SAT or the ACT
• your dreams and goals
• what stage of the journey you're at

Don't worry if you haven't worked out all of the above yet – your Academic Advisor can help you with that, too.

By analysing each of these key elements of your candidacy, your Academic Advisor will piece together a strategy (or package) to help you get where you want to be.

However, you won't just have one potential strategy, you'll be presented with many.

And the beauty of your Academic Advisor is:

Your dreams are their priorities.

And as a result, YOU will get to choose which strategy you like most. You make the call as to:

• what you can afford
• what suits your trajectory and schedule
• what you can see yourself enjoying

YOU are in charge of the direction you take. The relationship you have with your Academic Advisor continually gives all the power back to you!

Your Academic Advisor is there to guide you and give you everything you need to make an informed decision.
