Three Admissions Systems. One Game-Changing Hour.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Pretorius, a UK Admissions Expert at Crimson with over 15 years of experience helping students apply to top universities around the world.
If you're unsure whether the US, UK, or EU is the right fit for you, you’re not alone. Each system has its own process, timeline, and expectations, and the best choice depends on your goals, strengths, and preferences.
That’s why I’ve invited two leading admissions experts to join me for this live, panel-style webinar. Together, we’ll break down what makes each system unique and what UK and EU students need to know to apply with confidence.
Joining me:
🇺🇸 Aidan Gray – Former Princeton Admissions Officer and Princeton graduate
🇪🇺 Melissa Morrison – Senior EU Admissions Strategist and Franklin & Temple graduate
In this webinar, we will cover:
-
The differences between top US, UK, and EU universities
-
What’s involved in applying to each system
-
What admissions officers are looking for across regions
-
How to decide which system is the right fit for you
-
How to apply to all 3 regions
-
How Crimson can support your global university applications
📌 Note: This session will not be recorded.

How Crimson can help
Choosing between the US, UK and EU university systems can feel like a maze. Each with its own rules, timelines and expectations. With so many options and paths to consider, it’s no wonder students and families often feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
That’s where Crimson comes in. Our personalised programmes are designed to take the stress and confusion out of the application process. Each student works closely with a dedicated team of mentors and admissions experts who understand the unique requirements of every system. From helping you decide which countries and universities suit you best, to crafting standout personal statements and preparing for interviews, we’re with you every step of the way.
By joining this webinar, you’ll also secure a 1:1 meeting with one of our expert Academic Advisors. In this session, you’ll learn how your profile compares globally and how Crimson’s strategies can significantly improve your chances of admission, in some cases by up to 450%.
Let us help you find the right path and make your dream university experience a reality.
