I feel that choosing Crimson is the best gift that I gave to Jordan! We joined Crimson with doubts at first, but my son's step-by-step progress made me believe it! He actively communicated with the tutor to complete everything! He is mature, confident and responsible now! These improvements are enough to make me feel that the money I spent on Crimson is worth it! I would like to thank our tutor Teresa, Dana and Kenneth. Your guidance has brought his future to another level! ! ! I firmly believe that the final result is absolutely right!

With so many choices out there when it…
With so many choices out there when it comes to college counseling, it took a while to narrow down on Crimson. It was the conversation with the India head of Crimson that really made us pick Crimson over others. We have been in this program for around 4 months now. We still have a long way to go before the admissions but I thought I'd write in a review to say that whatever apprehensions I had initially, no longer exist. They have a great team supporting every student and whenever I have felt that something didn't feel right, I've have open communications with the success manager and we have changed gears. They are very open to communication and feedback which I think is a plus point. They are a big organization and there may be times when something is not going as expected and I believe they have the right mindset to be open minded about feedback received. With that I feel they are working towards making sure my child is equipped with the best possible support system. We have an amazing strategist who is very invested in my child finding his path and making changes accordingly. I would highly recommend Crimson.

Great Team Got my son into University of Oxford.
The whole professional team has been really helpful throught the application season. The UK team supported my son to get an offer of University of Oxford which is his dream school. The US team helped him to get an offer of UCLA. The whole team is very organized in terms of strategist meetings, progress monitoring, Indigo research, essay/personal statement writing as well as interview preparations. Highly recommend!

Working with Helen, Kausik, and Steve
Having a team of experts working together to aid me in the college searching, applying, and deciding processes was paramount to where I ended up. Everyone that I worked with was honest yet hopeful and constantly cheering me on.

Crimson Education helped me pursue my dreams
Crimson was more than just a support system during my college application process; it was a safe space where I felt seen, heard, and truly understood. As someone with big dreams but limited guidance in my immediate environment, navigating the U.S. college system felt like walking into the unknown. But from the moment I met my strategist, I knew I wasn’t going to be alone in that journey.
She didn’t treat me like just another student chasing Ivy dreams; she took the time to understand my motivations, my frustrations, and even the fears I didn’t always say out loud. She helped me connect the dots between my life story and the values I wanted to reflect in my application. We talked about the challenges I faced growing up, the moments I felt powerless, and the reasons I chose to lead educational projects across Latin America.
My application mentor was equally supportive. He reviewed every essay draft, even the ones I wasn’t proud of, with kindness and insight. There were moments I second-guessed my writing, when I felt like maybe my words weren’t “impressive” enough. But he reminded me that vulnerability is strength, and that sharing my truth — my father’s story, my passion for education equity, my leadership journey — was more powerful than any perfect-sounding sentence.
When I opened my UPenn acceptance letter, I couldn’t stop crying. Not just because I had gotten into my dream school, but because it felt like every part of me had been validated. Crimson helped me tell my story with pride and honesty.
If you’re someone who feels deeply, works hard, and is ready to show the world who you are, Crimson will not only help you get there, but they’ll help you believe in yourself every step of the way. I’m endlessly thankful.
