We were initially hesitated whether we should choose crimson or not but after our daughter working with Crimson team, especially strategist and counselor team, we believe we made the right choice. It save us a tremendous amount of time watching over our daughter academic progress. We just leave the work to the experts for their step-by-step guidance. Also, the beauty is that after every session there is comphensive summary so we know exactly the progress and we can provide reinforce if need with our daughter. This is the best investment we ever made. We believe Crimson‘s team is top notch if you are really serious about your children education for college preparation should definitely consider Crimson.

Fortunately, we chose Crimson
The consultants are highly professional, and the assistant teacher, Elisa, is dedicated to helping student and parents. The process of applying to schools is tough, but having Crimson’s assistant is truly wonderful!

CRIMSON NOS DIÓ MUCHO MÁS DE LO QUE ESPERÁBAMOS!…
Crimson dió a mi hija la oportunidad de tener mentores altamente calificados y con una excelente trayectoria. Vivimos el día a día con esa emoción y mucho orgullo.
Estoy totalmente satisfecha y bastante agradecida, mi hija aprendió mucho y aprovechó cada una de las oportunidades que el valioso equipo de Crimson puso en su camino.
Hoy, faltando sólo unos días para una primera aplicación a la universidad, puedo decir que, valió la pena confiar en Crimson.
Como dice mi hija: N… de ahora no es la misma de antes.

Honest review
I think choosing Crimson was honestly one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made. Over the past two years working with Crimson, I’ve met so many amazing, responsible, and experienced mentors who’ve given me great advice and shared a lot of life lessons. I also really love how professional Crimson is — they kept track of every detail of my achievements, helped me discover my strengths, and encouraged me to explore my interests. I truly enjoy working with Crimson and can’t wait to see what we’ll do together next!

Unprofessional and sloppy
Tried three separate times to connect for initial consultations. David Linton set up a conference and then "forgot" about it. Tried again to connect at a later date, he took the call from his car and didn't follow up. I never received any communication past that. After reaching out several times to other people in management and being completely ignored, I took the hint. If you are not a sure bet at a good school or if you are at a highly competitive high school, they don't want you. I feel I dodged a bullet here. Have a great counselor for my son now and couldn't be happier. Parents, reach other to other parents and read all of the reviews before you make any choice for your student.
Response from Crimson EducationJul 6, 2026
Hi Kim, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating these initial interactions with our team must have been - it's certainly not the standard we hold ourselves to.
We do want to respectfully provide some context. Following these initial interactions with our team, we made multiple attempts to reconnect with you via both email and phone to make things right. On October 28, 2025, one of our senior leaders, personally reached out to offer a meeting and to build a personalized plan for your son, but unfortunately we did not hear back from you at this point.
We recognize that doesn't undo the earlier experience, and we take the concerns you've raised seriously. Every family deserves a responsive, professional standard of care from our first interaction, and if for any reason we miss that mark, we do make sure to do everything we possibly can to make things right.
We wish you and your son every success in his college journey. If you ever wish to revisit things, our door always remains open, even if it's just for a quick second pair of eyes on his final application.

Excellence and Professionalism in Every Step
Our experience with Crimson has been truly exceptional. The team is highly professional, welcoming, and dedicated even from the very first contact. My son has received personalized, strategic, and deeply thoughtful guidance throughout the process. A special mention goes to his strategist, Átila, whose support has been invaluable, always attentive, professional, and genuinely inspiring. I strongly recommend Crimson to anyone seeking serious, effective, and caring guidance through this challenging journey.

Crimson is just amazing all the mentors…
Crimson is just amazing; all the mentors are very helpful and engaging. Rather than just doing it for you, they teach you what to do and are the catalysts for your growth.
