Why Crimson Students' Personal Statements are So Successful?
Crimson’s work with students is centered on the premise of individual attention and taking real time to support each applicant in preparing the perfect personal statement for them.
The statement is the centerpiece of both the US and the UK application process - so it is important that your essay showcases your academic aspirations (UK), or communicates a story which demonstrates who you are and what matters to you (US).
Our essay mentors work with their students closely for eight or more months to produce the best personal statements possible. They help each student showcase their academic rigour and explore their unique personal voice.
