My experience was great. My essay mentor was incredibly helpful and got my essays to be a solid representation of who I am and what I'm passionate about! My financial aid mentor helped me navigate FAFSA and receive generous aid from the school I'm attending now. My extracurricular mentor helped me narrow down the activities I should emphasize and write about in my essays. All of the people that helped me through this arduous process helped me get into UC Berkeley, WashU, and USC as a pretty average student. I totally recommend this program!

Crimson CAO program is the BEST college app program!
I just wanted to share my AMAZING experience with Crimson. As a rising senior, I didn’t know how or where to start on my college application process. I knew I wanted to start early during junior year to make sure I got my essays at least drafted. Thankfully, my luck sparked when I applied for the Crimson Access Opportunity scholarship program because I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford such services like essay mentor and application building. Somehow, I luckily got into the program and I have worked with 3 great mentors for application building, essay writing, and overall showcasing my true colors to my selected colleges. As a result, I was able to get into T-20 universities, but decided to stick with University of Washington - Seattle since they gave me a full ride! I don’t think I would’ve gotten into these colleges if Crimson advisors didn’t help me with my essays and college apps. I truly think my common app essay was the main reason why I got into these amazing schools. I would HIGHLY recommend students to use Crimson’s services, including the CAO program for students who need financial aid/ support like me!

I’m really glad that my friend told me…
I’m really glad that my friend told me about Crimson and prompted me to apply. From my strategist to financial aid counselor, everyone was so attentive and genuinely supported me. I felt as if they really understood how I am and what my needs are during the application process. Moreover, apart from the experts working with Crimson, there are also many opportunities that Crimson provides that I believed played a huge part in me finishing up my first application successfully.

I am thrilled to express my gratitude…
I am thrilled to express my gratitude for the outstanding assistance I've received from Crimson Education throughout my USA college application process. The personalized guidance from my team of mentors has been invaluable, providing me with the support and expertise needed to navigate this significant journey.
Firstly, my strategist has played a pivotal role in shaping a comprehensive and effective application strategy. Their industry knowledge and meticulous planning have instilled confidence in me and ensured that my goals align seamlessly with the application process.
Equally commendable is the expertise of my application mentor, who has been instrumental in refining and enhancing my essays. Their guidance has not only elevated the quality of my application but has also empowered me to authentically communicate my personal narrative, making my application truly stand out.
In addition, the financial aid mentor has been a crucial support in navigating the complexities of the financial aspects of college applications. Their dedication to finding the best financial aid options has alleviated much of the stress associated with the cost of education, allowing me to focus on the excitement of the application process itself.
What sets Crimson Education apart is not only the expertise of its mentors but also the genuine care they invest in their students. Each mentor takes a personal interest in the success of their mentees, going above and beyond to provide guidance that extends beyond the typical advisory role. The team's responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have made my experience with Crimson Education truly exceptional.
I wholeheartedly recommend Crimson Education to any student embarking on their USA college application journey. The support, encouragement, and expertise provided by my mentors have been invaluable, and I am confident that their guidance will continue to shape not only my application but also my academic and personal growth. Thank you, Crimson Education, for being an indispensable partner in this exciting chapter of my life.

BEST EDUCATION PROCESS
I’ve always wanted to apply to study abroad, and honestly I could not have done it without Crimsons support. Their network of skill professional help throughout the whole application process. From recommending what universities to apply to, explaining the common app procedures, helping in financial aid and making sure your application is the best it could be. And they are so fun to work with!

Crimson Education
I was a part of the CAO program by Crimson Education and it was the most rewarding experiences that I had during my college applications. My team supported me and guided me in every step during the application season. My strategist thoroughly reviewed my entire common app and suggested tips to improve it. Further my application mentor was a Dartmouth graduate who gave extensive reviews of my essays!
Overall I would definitely recommend Crimson Education if your goal is to study at a top university or if you need to start your application from scratch!

My experience was Great!!!
All mentors are well experienced and from diverse backgrounds. I loved the fact that they don't hire unexperienced people but rather people with experience in competitive college admissions.
The amount of resources is ungodly and would set anyone for success.
Would definitely recommend!
