When I received the offer to TCD, I was so thankful for Crimson's help and support. THANK YOU! Honestly, Melissa helped me a tremendous amount! I'm so happy to have her as a strategist and as a friend!
Francesco K.
Student
Crimson was a great help not only in applying to different schools with intricate admission processes but in choosing the right institution for my studies.
Milly G.
Student
Starting early was definitely helpful as it allowed me to write up 12 or 13 drafts and make it very individual and personal to me. I am really proud of the final statement, and that was all because of my team.
