Get The Secrets to Global University Admissions
Join us for a rare evening with Crimson Co-founder Jamie Beaton as he shares his journey from Kiwi student to building a leading global education company.
Jamie’s own experience gaining admission to multiple top US institutions, combined with over a decade of building Crimson globally, gives him a unique view of how the admissions landscape has evolved and where it is heading next. In this session, he will share his own practical insights, common mistakes families make, and what distinguishes students who consistently succeed.
Join us in-person to learn:
- What top universities are actually looking for in 2026 and beyond
- Why most students start too late and underestimate the global standard
- How to build momentum from Year 9–11 without locking into a narrow path
- The compounding advantage of starting early
- The difference between “good at school” and “globally competitive”
- How entrepreneurial thinking gives students unfair leverage
