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.
