Crimson Education

crimson education has been super helpful in guiding me through my college journey. my mentor is really supportive and always helps me stay on track. the team gives great advice on academics, extracurriculars, and overall strategy. i feel much more confident and prepared thanks to them. highly recommend!

All of my strategists, tutors, and mentors are absolutely amazing and tailor each session to my needs. I always look forward to our sessions together to hear feedback from my strategists for both the UK and the US. I have also completed a Work Experience Program with Ferrari, through Crimson Education, which was an incredible learning and networking opportunity. Thank you to my amazing team!

My daughter started with Crimson in her freshman year and I could not be happier. Crimson helped her come up with an amazing capstone project and have been guiding her to be accepted to her dream school. It’s not a company for everyone. They help your kid come up with their own work, they don’t do it for them. Some people think that, if you are paying, they should do all the work. That’s not what Crimson does. It’s a very serious coaching company. There are multiple people working with your kid, and when I was not too impressed with one of them, Customer service immediately offered me a replacement. My daughter is applying for college this fall and I only had great experiences with Crimson. Highly recommend.

Before working Crimson Education, i faced with many difficulties in the US application process. But after deciding to work with crimson, i received a enthusiastic support and guidance from the team--the strategist, SSC, portfolio constructor and many other mentors. I really appreciate all of their help, they are always so supportive and helpful. Thanks to Ms Susan, she has an extensive experience in guidance people in application process. She was so knowledgeable and supportive, she helped me a lot in choosing the suitable college for my major, get to understand deeper about the application and provide helpful feedback for me Thanks to my best SSC, Ms Millie. She's so helpful and trustworthy. She's always there whenever i needed and motivate me to do anything that enhance my portfolio, skills, and my character. My journey will never completed without the support of my portfolio constructor(Ms Jianlin) and essays mentor(Ms Tran). Their advise and navigation were really helpful, useful and always helped me to stay organized. Everything Crimson's team did for me was truly exceptional. And now, i could apply to the US application with confidence=)

A few months ago I was quite lost and unsure as to how to navigate or even how to start on my university application processes. However within a few weeks time, with all the tremendous help I received from my crimson team I have now received offers from three universities in Australia. I am very grateful for all the time and effort the team put in especially from Rachana and Natalija to guide me through this journey. Thank you very much

The best part of my experience was the team helping me stay on track and not miss any deadlines. They’re also very easy to contact if I come across any issues and have helped me stay organized.

Crimson Education has helped my daughter, Tanvee, quickly shift into the new package of UK and Singapore. For example they advised shifting from Hindi as foreign language to other languages and she has been able to quickly take up Spanish AB as her choice. Further, the advisors- Rachana, Arhaan and Patrick have been phenomenal in advising on strategic extracurriculars related to her chosen stream- economics. I am very hopeful that with this proactive guidance, Tanvee will be able to not only get her dream college but also the stream of her choice.

My experience has been great because of my wonderful councillors Tamilla Khanna and Vedika Mehta, who have both been very proactive and responsive throughout my journey with Crimson. They have always followed up to my doubts and questions and never leave anything hanging.

Crimson Education has exceeded all expectations. Our teenage son is currently going through their program, and the support he’s received — from the CEO to his tutors — has been nothing short of outstanding. The team is incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about the students they work with. It’s clear they have their students' best interests at heart, and that makes all the difference. Thanks to the guidance from Sally, Luna, Jamie, and the wider Crimson team, our son George is not only working toward his dream of gaining a US college placement, but he's also thriving in his regular schoolwork. The confidence, structure, and motivation he’s gained through Crimson have been truly transformative. We’re very grateful to have Crimson in George’s corner, we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

The insight that Crimson Education provides is great for applying to colleges that have highly selective admissions.

I’m really enjoying my experience with Crimson Education so far! The support has been incredible. from mentoring to application strategy, everything feels well-organized and tailored to me. They really take the time to understand my goals and help me build a plan that actually makes sense for my future. Everyone I’ve worked with has been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. I’ve already learned a lot, and I feel much more confident about the university application process thanks to them. Definitely recommend it to anyone aiming for top universities!

After hearing strong recommendations from a few senior parents, we decided to explore Crimson along with a few other college counseling options. Following the initial consultations, we chose to move forward with Crimson. The first couple of years were focused on building Our Daughter's profile with a mix of guidance, mentorship, and strategic planning. While there was some mentor churn during this phase, which made the process feel a bit uneven at times, it was still a step in the right direction. However, the churn during the crucial application phase was particularly frustrating. We raised our concerns directly with Crimson's CEO and COO, and I must say the response was swift, thoughtful, and transformative. What followed was a significantly improved experience. Even though our team was spread across Korea, France, and California, while we were based in California, time zones never posed a problem. When we needed guidance, feedback, or simply reassurance, the team was always available, flexible, responsive, and genuinely committed. I've seen forum posts worrying about time zone differences, but in our case, having a global team actually became a strength. It created an "around-the-clock" support model and brought diverse perspectives into essay reviews, which enriched the final outcome. The entire team, including those we interacted with directly and those working behind the scenes, went above and beyond, not just during the application season but also as results began to roll in. They were there to help process decisions and even to guide us through the early stages of preparing for college life. Crimson's support was not just tactical, but also emotional. They helped keep Our Daughter grounded, focused, and confident throughout a very demanding process. We're deeply grateful for their partnership and would recommend them to families navigating the complex college admissions landscape.

I was a subpar student in high school and I was lucky to get into Cal Poly SLO. However, I did not fit in well at the school and the social scene was not a great fit for me. I tried to apply out as a transfer by myself after my freshman year, but had little luck. Sophomore year I decided to work with Crimson and create a structured plan around extracurriculars as well as months of thoughtful work on what my goals were, which lead to more thoughtful school selection, and then we worked vigorously on my essays. I originally wanted to apply to USC, which Crimson was supportive of, but they also pushed me to take a chance and apply to reach schools like Cornell. I ended up getting accepted to both USC's real estate development program as well as Cornell's school of hotel administration. As a B level student in high school I never would have believed that I'd be accepted into either of these schools. I just chose to commit to Cornell because their program is arguably the best undergraduate real estate program in the country, along with other qualitative factors. I'm extremely grateful for all of the support that Crimson gave me throughout the entire process. Helen and Joy were extremely helpful throughout the entire process.

Crimson helped greatly and was super supportive in my journey of applying for tertiary education abroad, mate the otherwise somewhat complicated process easy to navigate and provided a compassionate and attentive team with Matt S and Samantha

I have been with Crimson for quite some time, and initially it was for an undergraduate application, but due to personal delays, I ended up postponing the service entirely. The team was super helpful in accommodating the life changes and was extremely empathetic and understanding of my situation. Truly amazing stellar service with extremely qualified individuals and professional tutors to assist in any sphere.

Really great team assigned to me, tailored for my needs and rich with experience. Not only were they personable and professional, but also very insightful, and ultimately was able to get into my dream university- Brown.

Working with Crimson made such a difference in my entire college application journey. The process is complex and filled with nuances, and I truly couldn’t have navigated it without my strategist Zizi and application mentor Makhaela (huge props to them!) I always felt supported and understood, from planning extracurriculars to essay brainstorming and even waitlist strategy. Crimson gave me an incredibly personalized and impactful experience!

The Crimson team has been incredibly supportive, especially when it comes to the college application process. They’re always attentive to my questions and concerns, and their guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate the right path forward.

It’s been lucky for my parents to choose Crimson helping me over the course of college application. It is challenging and frustrating process. Fortunately, with the help of professional team, I was able to get a position in my dream school - University of Oxford!

I’m currently working with the crimson team, and the experience so far has been really positive. Their guidance has been super helpful in shaping my application strategy, they have really nice people and they are super joyful and I feel much more confident navigating this journey with their support!
