Get Your Application Reviewed by a Former Admissions Officer
Applying now? Get the most trusted admissions “final check” — by former Ivy League decision-makers from Harvard, Princeton & more.
What You’ll Get
Even a strong application can fall short at the top level. Crimson’s Final Review pairs you with a former admissions officer from Harvard, Stanford, or Penn for a line-by-line evaluation of your Common App and essays. Every student receives a comprehensive, plus a 6–8 page report modeled on elite admissions assessments. Your report includes:
1.
Candidacy Rating
A concise overview of your overall competitiveness — plus how your profile would likely read in committee discussion.
2.
Academic Assessment
Expert commentary on transcript strength, curriculum rigor, testing strategy (SAT/ACT, APs, IB, A-Levels), and how your academic record compares within top-tier applicant pools.
3.
Activities & Honors Audit
Detailed feedback on your activities list and awards — ensuring each entry communicates scale, impact, and leadership the way elite readers expect.
4.
Essay Review
Get expert narrative analysis of your personal and supplemental essays to ensure authentic voice, strategic alignment, and maximum impact. Includes detailed commentary and examples to strengthen phrasing, structure, and storytelling.
5.
Cohesion & Positioning
Evaluation of how all pieces of the application including academics, activities, essays, and recommendations work together to convey a unified, memorable narrative.
6.
Final 10-Day Checklist
A customized set of final-week actions: micro-edits, content refinements, and submission tips tailored to your deadlines. Clear, time-bound, and realistic.
