Crimson EducationReviews of crimsoneducation.org

Honestly, one of the best decisions I've made in my life; not only relying on school work for building my university application, but also using the resources that Crimson Education have provided me to build knowledge of both real world problems and "text book" problems

Excellent guidance and very responsive! We were so pleased with the process and end result, that we hired Crimson for our next child off to college. It is a dynamic company that attracts very capable people as employees.

Really great platform, offers scheduling based on your free time. You can also access a lot of college/university prep material within the platform. Really great tutors.

I am very grateful to have worked with such a patient and committed team. Working with Crimson made the university processes much less daunting and helped me find the most suitable university for me. I would highly recommend!

Working with Crimson Education has been one of the most transformative parts of my high school journey. As a student in the French system aiming for U.S. universities, I knew the application process would be overwhelming — from essays to extracurriculars, all while balancing school. Crimson gave me the structure, accountability, and expertise I needed to turn what felt impossible into something manageable. What helped me the most — and what I believe is Crimson’s greatest strength — is their guidance. If you put your mind to something, you can achieve it, but having the confidence and direction to do so makes all the difference. Crimson encouraged me to find the thread of my story, explore my interests, and share them meaningfully. I wasn’t only focused on applications but also on enjoying the activities I committed to and finding purpose in them. My strategist and essay mentor guided me through an intense but rewarding introspection process. They helped me shape my story, refine my “hook,” and connect my values to my projects. The brainstorming exercises were eye-opening, and the feedback always thoughtful, detailed, and constructive. I also appreciated the flexibility: sometimes we met live on Zoom, and sometimes we worked asynchronously, which saved precious time during exams. Like any long journey, there were adjustments along the way. For example, I worked with several strategists before finding the right fit, and I think earlier continuity could have made the start smoother. Still, those transitions ultimately helped me clarify what I needed. By application season, I felt both prepared and supported. Crimson not only helped me build a strong application that led to an Ivy League acceptance, but also gave me clarity about who I am and where I want to go.

The advice from Crimson is really practical and useful: our counsellor provided multiple specific suggestions/links for competitions, research opportunities and activities to enhance my daughter's application throughout her junior year. The team was incredibly good at keeping everything on track: by the end of her junior summer, my daughter had her essay and Common App application in near final form, and they took the work of getting that done away from us as parents which was amazing.

Nice platform, learned a lot from the masterclasses

My child and me learned a lot about college admissions through crimson and it has lots of great support for my child
