Stand-out with a Capstone Project
A capstone project is an independent project taken on during secondary school. It showcases self-driven exploration of a topic or field you’re interested in. But to impress admissions officers, it's not just about execution. It‘s about scaling the project and ensuring it demonstrates leadership, ambition, initiative and impact — qualities that the admissions team loves to see.
01
We work with you to identify your core values, which guide the capstone. Conducting research and drafting a proposal.
02
You launch the project, develop a marketing plan, record data, and scale the project to increase its impact.
03
Together, we define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of your project. We gather resources and create an action plan.
04
You reflect on your capstone project’s growth and impact, recording insights to be used on your university applications.

Testimonials
Hear firsthand from students about how our custom packages helped them gain clarity, build confidence, and achieve acceptance at their top-choice schools.
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 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.”
01. Work experience
The best way to get experience in your field (and to make sure you like it) is real-world work experience, especially for fields like Law, Psychology and Anthropology which not all schools offer as a subject. However, it can be hard to secure under the age of 18 without a family connection. That's where Crimson comes in! Through our connections with multiple national and international companies, our students have completed work experience programmes with global companies such as Uber, PwC, Ferrari, The Economist, and many more!
02. Academic Research
research. It's a tangible way to demonstrate your intellectual curiosity, academic talent, and expertise in tackling complex projects. Indigo Research Programme offers qualified students the opportunity to complete an in-depth, independent research paper or project with constant hands-on guidance from PhD students and top university faculty. Our Indigo students complete their research project in a specific discipline and can source potential publishers, obtain patents or copyrights (if applicable), and more.
03. Value of an Initial Meeting
Applying to top universities is a difficult task which is why so many students seek external support in addition to the guidance offered at school. Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focused support with every aspect of the process. We are proud to say that students who work with us are up to 4.3x as likely to get into their dream university than those who apply alone.
