From New Zealand to a World-Class University
Every year, we send hundreds of New Zealand’s best and brightest students to the world’s top universities, like Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Oxford and beyond! For many of those students, the idea of studying at a world-class university was a far-off dream – in fact, some of them didn’t even know it was possible!
But what does it take to get in?
Great academics are an undeniable advantage, but they’re no longer enough to guarantee acceptance to a top university. At Crimson, we help students maximise every aspect of their application, making sure they stand out above the tens of thousands of qualified applicants.
At Crimson, we offer:
Application Strategy
Our strategists have an accumulative 350 years experience in college admissions, many having made decisions in admission offices at Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Oxford and more. Beyond college selection, our strategists assure their students’ applications have a strong overarching theme that aligns with their personal passions, achievements and ambitions.
Top Extracurriculars
Our extracurricular support — provided by hand-picked professionals in their fields — includes the building of complex capstone projects, high level research with college professors, internships with companies such as Uber, Amazon, Ferrari and more, and competitive summer programs in specific areas of interest.
Academic Acceleration
The depth of our top-scoring tutoring staff allows us to provide not just expert SAT and ACT tutoring, but extensive subject area support, including NCEA and A-Levels! Many of our students supplement their school offerings with additional AP classes/subjects taught by qualified teachers through our global online high school, Crimson Global Academy.
Essay Support
Our essay mentors guide students through the entire essay construction process for the personal statement and supplemental essays, including identifying effective topics, building a compelling narrative, and crafting highly specific answers to school-specific supplemental questions.
