From Romania to Harvard — Rafaela’s Journey!
We’re incredibly proud of our Crimson students and their successes this year! So far in this application cycle, we’ve had over 2,450 offers from top US universities and 728 offers from leading UK universities, with more to come.
Thousands of students across the UK and Europe are applying to top US universities each year — and with acceptance rates as low as 3.5%, standing out is no small feat. This is why so many students seek external support with their applications.
That’s where Crimson comes in. Our students are up to 4.3x more likely to gain admission to their dream university — just like Rafaela, who recently secured an offer from Harvard through Restrictive Early Action.
This is a rare chance to hear directly from a successful applicant — and walk away with insider tips to craft your own standout application.
🎁 Exclusive Crimson Bundle Giveaway
To celebrate the success of our Crimson students this admissions cycle, we’re giving attendees the chance to win an exclusive Crimson Bundle — including a £100 Amazon voucher, a cosy Oodie, and a copy of Jamie Beaton’s bestselling book, Accepted! Secrets to Gaining Admission to the World’s Best Universities.
Attend live for your chance to win!
In this exclusive webinar, Rafaela will share:
- Why she chose to apply to Harvard
- What motivated her to apply to the US
- Her extracurriculars, Common App essay and overall application strategy
- What she thinks impressed Harvard Admissions Officers
- How Crimson’s support helped shape her journey
- What she’s planning this summer before Harvard
Meet our speakers!
