04: Boosting your ECLs

05: Writing your essays

06: Nailing the interview

Slide 1 of 6

01. Crafting a plan and getting started
After your initial assessment with one of our Academic Advisors we will build a highly personalised plan based on your age, current situation and admissions goals. Next you'll be introduced to your Educational Coordinator who'll help you organise your entire Crimson journey and act as a regular communication base for you and your family.
02. Building your university application list!
Your Strategist is the 'captain of your application ship' helping you build out a **personalised application list **and formulate a highly personalised roadmap. Your strategist will help you pull all elements of your application(s) together, ensuring your final submission(s) will be as perfect as they can be. Read just some of our strategists profiles here!
03. Lifting your standardised test scores
Whether it be the SAT or ACT, AP or UK course specific exams, out tutors are standardised test top scorers who can help you lift your scores above the competition. As a Crimson student you'll have access to the Crimson App where you can organise tutoring sessions, access practice tests and get instant expert feedback.
04. Improving your extracurricular candidacy
Your ECL or extracurricular and leadership profile is a key component of your US and/or UK application(s). Our ECL mentors, who are accomplished project builders and often Ivy League or Oxbridge grads themselves, will help you expand upon your passions to build a capstone project and/or other significant, high-impact initiative.
05. Working with your essay mentor
Working with your essay mentor you will brainstorm, ideate, craft, edit and refine a personal statement that resonates with admissions officers. Our mentors are top school graduates who understand the nuances of what it takes to write a stand-our personal statement or supplemental essay.
06. Prepping with your interview expert
Our interview mentors have sat in that interview seat before - at Oxford, Cambridge and other top schools in the UK and the US. They will work with you to make sure you're prepared for every question possible, have the skill and confidence to think on your feet, and help you prepare questions you can ask your interviewers in return.

Our Success

Our US applicants have received offers from Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Caltech, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UChicago, Duke, Northwestern and all schools in the US Top 50, while our UK applicants have been accepted to Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, LSE, King’s College London, the University of Edinburgh and many other top UK institutions.

More specifically, many of our students have 2, 3, 4, 5 or sometimes 10 or more offers to choose from. In these cases their strategist will work with them on their ‘wonderful dilemma’, helping them choose for example between their Ivy League acceptances to identify the best fit them.

“Crimson’s support was fundamental to my acceptance to such a competitive university. I am at Stanford because of the support of my Crimson team, and for that I am so grateful.”

Lara F.

Stanford University, Class of 2023
“I would recommend Crimson to any student who has ambitious goals and a hard-working mindset. Crimson knows exactly how to help you build the strongest application possible.”

"A family friend recommended Crimson, based on their positive personal experience and Crimson helped me with things that I didn't even know I needed help with! They were simply amazing.”

Talia S.

Brown University, Class of 2024
“I think [I was accepted] because of how I performed in the interviews. My Crimson interview mentor prepped me on how to answer questions creatively and follow strategic thinking pathways."

Jessica C.

University of Oxford
“My consultant Dylan was an incredible help — not just regarding the advice he gave for my common application. He’s at Princeton, and is studying the same things I plan on studying."

Seyoon R.

Princeton University, Class of 2021
“I know Crimson have the information and their tutors and mentors are the best. But the fact that they get so invested, that they give you such peace of mind — that was just incredible.”

Josh M.

Stanford University, Class of 2023
“I think compared to many students who are very stressed, I had a very nice application process. Thanks to the support and encouragement of my Crimson team I actually enjoyed the whole process.”

Takenoshin Y.

Yale University, Class of 2025
“When it came to my Crimson team, I was surrounded by Oxbridge alumni! Four of my mentors studied at Oxford and my Crimson history tutor studied at Cambridge. Out of the six people on my team, five of them had studied at Oxford or Cambridge. Having that kind of access and being able to connect with such successful people was amazing.”

Michael V.

University of Oxford
“My son’s Crimson team was well organised. He had tutors who were motivating, supportive and very helpful. They were all experienced and knowledgeable and their organisation was outrageously good!”

Crimson parent

Crimson parent
“Crimson helped my child tremendously. My son’s team was endlessly reliable, and the quality of work ethic was top notch across the entire group."

Crimson parent
“At Crimson, you have support from people that have had hands-on experience. Their professionalism, organisational ability and dedicated planning made the process clear and doable.”

Crimson parent
“Everyone at Crimson is very helpful and kind. We are glad we contacted Crimson. They’re breadth of college admissions information is limitless. They have been very, very useful in this process.”
