Crimson EducationReviews of crimsoneducation.org

As a student at Crimson Education, I’ve found their support incredibly helpful. Everyone is kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. They guide you step by step, which makes the whole process feel much clearer and less stressful. There are also so many opportunities they offer if you dream of studying abroad — from academic planning to extracurricular guidance and test prep, it really feels like a full support system. My strategist Jhony has been amazing, and my Student Success Manager, Lucas, is also super supportive and always willing to help whenever I need anything. Even though I haven’t applied to universities yet, I already feel much more confident and prepared because of their guidance. Highly recommend!

Crimson Education was such a big part of my academic journey, and I’m genuinely so grateful for the support I received over the years. My team really believed in me and was all in on helping me make the best decisions for my future, even when my plans changed. They were incredibly supportive, encouraging, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I felt confident and prepared. I didn’t end up going overseas, but the guidance, tools, and skills they gave me have set me up so well for the next few years of my degree and beyond. I truly feel like they cared about me as a person and not just as an application. Thank you to everyone who was part of my journey.

Used Crimson for both of my children. All of the consultants were great and made the whole process feel way less stressful. The support was high quality and helpful, and you can tell they really know what they’re doing.

I've used Crimson for all three of my daughters. Two are now in Ivy League schools in the US and my third ( who just finished her journey with Crimson in December) has already got an acceptance into her Early Acceptance school ( North Eastern University). We are over the moon and hopeful for her acceptance into one of the Ivys' later this year. I would highly recommend Crimson, their attention to detail is second to none and their strategy of carrying the entire family along ensures that the applying student has a feeling of robust support. I've already recommended Crimson to my friends so if you're thinking of using them, I'd say " go for it"!

I scheduled a free 15-minute consultation with Crimson because I was genuinely looking for guidance about my academic goals and future college plans. As a motivated student trying to be proactive, I expected at least a short conversation about my interests, direction, or how they work with students. That is not what happened. When the call started, the consultant greeted me but immediately misspelled my name, which already made the interaction feel rushed and impersonal. He did not seem interested in building any kind of connection or understanding who I am as a student. His tone felt disengaged, almost like he was in a bad mood or just trying to get through the call. He asked me a couple of surface-level questions about school and what high school I was planning to attend. Before I could really explain my goals or ask any questions, he abruptly stopped the conversation and shifted the focus entirely away from me. He asked which parent is most involved in my college admissions, and then said my mom should schedule a separate appointment. Right after that, he ended the call. The entire interaction lasted only a few minutes and never became an actual consultation. There was no discussion of my interests, no attempt to understand my strengths or ambitions, no advice, no explanation of how they might help someone like me. It felt like the “free consultation” was not meant to help students at all, but purely to move the conversation to parents as quickly as possible for sales purposes. As a student, that was extremely disappointing. I came in hoping for insight and left feeling dismissed and unheard. I understand that parents are involved in financial decisions, but completely cutting off a student mid-conversation makes the process feel impersonal and overly business-focused. Students looking for real guidance should know that this initial call may not be a consultation in the true sense. It may function more as a screening step to redirect you to a parent-focused sales conversation, rather than an opportunity to discuss your goals or receive advice. I left feeling frustrated because I was ready to talk seriously about my future, but the conversation never got that chance to happen.

My strategist, essay mentor, and former admissions officer were all incredibly helpful and supportive, and I looked forward to my meetings with them! With their help and insightful feedback I was able to get into my dream school (~5% acceptance rate), and I really enjoyed working with them!

I love how personalised the support on the Crimson app is, especially having a dedicated strategist. They walk you through the entire application process, help fix mistakes, and guide you in building a strong overall profile for top universities. The constant communication is honestly amazing, it really feels like they care about their students. Plus, everything is well-formatted and easy to use. Would totally recommend Crimson to anyone interested in aiding their child's holistic development.

Crimson Education has really helped me step out of my comfort zone, and I’ve seen a lot of positive change in my profile. My strategist has been amazing, guiding me every step of the way, helping me identify opportunities, and making sure I’m on track for top universities.
