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.
