Sights set on the Ivy League?
The Ivy League is a collection of 8 of the most prestigious universities in the world. Home to academic excellence, outstanding facilities and many famous and successful alumni.
These colleges are also some of the hardest to get into with the lowest acceptance rate being 3.4% for Harvard University.
Crimson are lucky enough to have many Ivy League alumni within our network and for this webinar, we are asking 3 of them to join us and let us in on all the tricks of the trade.
Martin (Harvard), Sohum (Yale) and Jennifer (Cornell) are all Crimson Strategists and help many students gain acceptance to the Ivy League. They are here to tell you what Admissions Officers are looking for and showcase some of their students and what they did to make it to the top!
How Crimson can help
Applying to top US 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.
You will learn:
- An introduction to the Ivy League landscape with a focus on Harvard, Yale & Cornell
- An insight as to what it’s like to study at an Ivy League university from alumni
- An in-depth discussion with 3 Ivy League Strategists on how they supported a student in each aspect of the application process;
- University choice
- ECLs and activities list
- Personal essay
- SAT/ACT
There will be a live Q&A at the end of this webinar, so bring your questions to the table!
