Alex S.

Student

“I am happy my family and I chose Crimson. Their support to help you become the best applicant in a university's eyes and the overall passion their employees show in being just as committed to achieving your dreams are invaluable.”

Mia I.

Student

“Crimson greatly helped my admission into college, and I would definitely not be here if it were not for them. Crimson helped me frame myself in the best way possible to all of the competitive colleges.”

Avery B.

Student

“I could never be happier that I chose Crimson, and I do not think that I could have made it to where I am today without all the help I received here. HUGE thank you to everyone who worked with me. I couldn’t do this without all of you.”

Cora P.

Student

“The best thing about working with Crimson is that everything you need for your applications is in one place: essay drafting, application review, test prep, interview prep and more.”

Tarun S.

Student

“In hindsight, working with Crimson was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. I felt that I had the perfect fit with my tutors, as they were only as involved as I needed them to be and my applications felt like the best reflections of me possible.”

Pooja K.

Student

“Crimson has an organized structure to manage the college application process. The strategists assigned are very helpful and are experts in the field. If I were to do the process all over again, I would, without a doubt, choose to work with Crimson again.”

Jackie C.

Student

“Crimson definitely contributed immensely to my success story. While the work may have been mine, the feedback and revision were thanks to Crimson’s team of mentors.”

Zach P.

Student

“Crimson’s process ensured that I was sending the best application I could possibly make to each school through the extracurricular, academic, and essay advice they provided.”

6 Reasons Why Crimson Stands Out Above the Rest

Things you won't find at other university admissions consultancies.

01

Holistic Application Support

Our students get a team of experts who focus on each area of the application process. Each student is paired with an expert Strategist who oversees their application and helps them create a list of safety, target and reach schools.

02

Former Admissions Officers

Our experts have previously been the decision-makers at the top universities in the UK and US. Our AO service includes in-depth feedback on every aspect of the student’s candidacy and application materials, comprehensive written feedback, and 1:1 meetings.

03

Extracurricular Support

We provide our students with a range of unique out-of-classroom opportunities — from the ability to intern at Uber to teaming them up with like-minded scientists, coders, humanitarians, artists and/or musicians from around the world.

04

Our Student Success

Our students are between 2-10x more likely to gain admission to the Ivy League and other top schools than the general applicant. All our student results are audited by one of the Big Four accounting firms — making our reporting both accurate and reliable.

05

Our Founders Have Been There

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Jamie Beaton, is a graduate of Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Yale, Oxford & KCL. Many university consultancies are run by people who don’t know what it's like to succeed at a competitive institution in recent years, but we do!

06

AI-Enhanced Student Support

Our proprietary AI tools help predict admissions outcomes and guide strategic decisions using hundreds of thousands of data points. This allows our team to deliver faster, smarter, and more personalised support, while maintaining a strong human touch throughout the process.
