Overseas university application deadlines are just 3 months away!!!

Studying at the world's most prestigious universities is a dream for many students. But international students are often unaware of what is required and how competitive the application process is to get into top universities like Oxbridge, the Ivy League, top European universities or institutions like MacGill in Canada.

When looking to study in the USA, be advised that you will need, on average, around USD$40,000.00 per year; for the UK, this figure is around USD$25,000.00.

With just over 3 months until early US applications and UK Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge) Medicine; Veterinary, and Dentistry application deadlines, AND just over 4 months until regular application deadlines to universities around the world, you don't have very long to cover what you need to.

Joining Crimson gives you access to an App-Year Programme designed to give you the best chance to succeed! Let Crimson help you with:

  • Best-fit university and major - Choosing from thousands of universities around the world, all very different from one another in teaching approach, number of years, course structure, course outcomes and much more.
  • Application support - Ensuring you have clear application plans, timelines and milestones to navigate the various application requirements in order to receive the acceptances you hope for.
  • Personal Statement/Essays - Depending on where you apply in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, etc, you will have a number of essays to submit. Knowing how to structure these essays for admissions officers will make the world of difference.
  • Admissions Tests - Whether it's the SAT for the US or Europe or the LNAT or BMAT for Law or Medicine, you may be required to write admission tests for particular universities or majors.
  • Interview preparation - Preparing for the rigorous interview process for majors like medicine gives you the best chance of success.

  • "Given I was already in matric, initially I thought I might as well try on my own. I did the ACT's, SAT, and those ended going fine. Then I realised there is a bit more to this whole thing than just test scores. For me, the big thing was where do I apply? I can write essays, but maybe they need a little bit of tuning - which they did! I new I needed to have a game plan. So, I signed up with Crimson."

    Timothy Duke University - Class of 2024

  • "At the end of his matric year, Qaks applied to a number of top international universities. “I had support from another admissions company. They assisted me with admin, financial aid and getting all my forms in. However, when it came to writing and editing essays, they weren’t very helpful. I thought that maybe Crimson could make the difference, that they could help me reach my dream of studying in the USA. Qaks University of Southern California - Class of 2024

  • "When the time came for Matthew to begin the application process, he and his parents looked to Crimson for help. “We didn’t have the greatest idea of everything that would be required. We first reached out to Crimson for guidance and to see what we would be able to achieve with regards to university applications and acceptance in our allocated timeframe. Matthew UCLA - Class of 2024

  • "A lot of people don’t know what it takes to get into an international university. After my initial round of applications, I realised that I needed help with my applications, because despite being a strong student, I wasn’t putting my achievements forward in a way that reflected who I really am.” Waki University of Exeter - Class of 2024

  • "I think the whole process of applying to America has required me to take a very introspective look at myself, who I am, what I stand for, and what kind of person I want to be. And it was Crimson who showed me how to do this.” Dan Brown University - Class of 2024

  • "I can't imagine having done it without my [Crimson LNAT] tutor. I think it made the biggest difference. There's so much personalised feedback I think you get from having a tutor that's just impossible to get without one.” Gabrielle Bristol University - Class of 2025
