Hear from Crimson student Fara on her journey from the UK to Stanford!
More and more students from the UK and Europe are applying to top US universities every year, attracted by the breadth of the liberal arts curriculum or the prestige and renown that comes from the Harvard or Stanford name.
But with some acceptance rates as low as 3.5% it’s no mean feat getting accepted - this is why so many students seek external support with their applications!
Crimson students are 4x more likely to gain acceptance than a student that applies alone. A student who benefitted from that statistic is Fara, currently enjoying life as a Freshman at Stanford University!
In this webinar, Fara will be sharing her application journey and revealing what it’s like to study at Stanford.
You will learn:
- Fara’s motivations for applying to the US
- How Fara managed to successfully apply to 8 top universities in the US alongside school work
- What made up Fara’s extracurricular profile
- Why Fara’s personal essay impressed admissions officers
- Day in the life of a Stanford Freshman
There will be a live Q&A at the end of the talk, so bring your questions to the table!
How Crimson can help
Applying to top universities is a difficult and stressful task which is why so many students seek external support.
Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focussed support with each and every aspect of the process - from university selection to essay writing and SAT preparation.
By signing up for this webinar you will get a 1:1 university strategy meeting for you and your child with one of our expert Academic Advisors. They will review your child’s academic and extracurricular profile, provide tailored guidance as to suitable university pathways and outline what they need to do to achieve their goals.

With the support of Crimson Fara received admission to her dream school, Stanford, and is now experiencing all she dreamed of and more.
