UK University Admissions

Admission to Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group universities is becoming increasingly competitive with Oxbridge and universities such as UCL, Imperial and LSE reporting subject specific admission rates as low as 7%.

How we work

At Crimson you will be matched with a dedicated team of tutors and mentors, in line with your personal passions and learning style, by a tutor/student matching algorithm. Our teams, which often include graduates from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, King's, Edinburgh, St Andrews and more, will assist you with every part of the application process: from school subject and course specific test tutoring, to personal statement composition and interview preparation.

Your team members will not only help you narrow down on university and course selection, but will cover every aspect of the UCAS process - mapping out a personalised timeline to relieve the stress often associated with balancing your final year in school with building the perfect application.

Lifting your application above the competition

Be it their high level test performance or their stellar interview execution, Crimson students' all-round application excellence is evidenced in their high admission rates.

This year alone, our students were admitted to Oxford or Cambridge at 4x the average admission rate, with our Russell Group admits receiving similar or better results.

I never imagined that, coming from a very small country, I would actually be able to make it to somewhere as big as Oxford.

In the beginning, the whole process feels overwhelming because you don't know what you’re getting into, especially when applying to the US and the UK. But Crimson make the whole process easier to negotiate, lifting your confidence and giving you the best chance of acceptance.

Crimson gave me an invaluable amount of help in preparing for my interview. I had three team members working with me generously and collaboratively so I knew exactly what to expect. Bluebelle C. Yale University
