European University Admissions
Interested in studying in Europe? From medicine to law and much more, Crimson helps students reach their ultimate European university admissions goals.
Why Crimson Education?

02. Admissions Test Prep
Some European universities will require standardized exams, like the SAT or ACT. Developed by Harvard grads, PhDs and top tutors from around the world, Crimson’s SAT/ACT courses reduce your study time while maximising your results. Other universities, like Bocconi, will require a specific entrance exam, and others still will need you to write an aptitude-specific examination.

03. CV, Activities, and Portfolio
Having a highly personalised and comprehensive extracurricular and leadership (ECL) profile is essential to creating a competitive college application. It is necessary to showcase your personal and intellectual interests in a way that helps you stand out above the crowd. These six points represent the key building blocks your Crimson ECL mentor will work with you to achieve.
Identify and develop your unique personal interests
Brainstorm ideas and narrow down on a project plan
Set timelines and goals
Build a project infrastructure
If applicable, recruit partners or find funding
Market your project and scale it to make more impact
04. Motivation Letters Support
Your motivational letters - depending on your desired course and university - hold a great deal of importance. Crimson provides expert advice and guidance in crafting whatever letters need to be written. That's why we provide every student with a specialist essay mentor — someone who has graduated from a top university themselves and knows what admissions officers are looking for. We help you detail exactly how your major will serve your future career plans, and we can assist you in carving out a compelling personal narrative that will help you stand head and shoulders above the other applicants.
05. Interview Preparation
When it comes to Europe, the interview provides a crucial chance to impress your target universities. But what will they ask you and how do you prepare?
Crimson’s experienced interview mentors will walk you through all possible question scenarios, undertaking mock interviews and showing you how you can shine in a limited period of time — both in answering the questions you are asked, and coming up with relevant university-specific questions you can ask in return.
06. Academic Enrichment
Crimson can help you build out your academic profile to best support your specific application, depending on what career path you intend to follow through your university applications. We can provide:
Subject-specific support to help you explore the depth and breadth of your intended major
Tailored modules and assignments to improve interview and admissions outcomes
