Turning Postgrad Aspirations into Admissions
Partner with the world’s most recognized university admissions support network to obtain admissions to top graduate programs.

My strategist helped take my essay to the next level, and I wouldn’t have been able to go through that process without Crimson’s network of people that they have access to.

I could not have done it without the assistance of Crimson and especially the support of my Crimson Law Strategist. I was taught how to present myself to an admissions committee and also given truly beneficial advice regarding my submission quality.

My strategist was really a good mentor equipped with the excellent skills and expertise for prospective postgraduate students who need guidance for their academic preparation. She continuously reviewed and ensured that my essays and personal statement were effective and well explained for the admission team to consider my application.

Communicating with my strategist was very easy. He always understood me, listened to me, and gave me his unconditional support. He gave me insights about not only the application process but also life in the US.

Our Process
Assess Your Candidacy
Using a broad database of past applications and reviewed by our expert strategists, each student receives a complimentary review of their candidacy for their target programs, a set of recommended pathways to achieve their goals, and a list of potential strategist partners.

Start with Your Strategist
After you and your strategist have mutually agreed to work together on your selected application pathway, the two of you will meet with your Student Support team to outline your co-created application goals, communication cadence, and timeline of key due dates.

Pursue Your Program
From developing your candidacy through new extracurricular experiences, perfecting your personal narrative, or identifying the best program-student fits, no two programs look the same. However, your strategist and the rest of your Crimson team will be by your side as you work towards an exceptional application.

Submission & Admission
As you reach the finish line, your strategist and the rest of the Crimson team will take a final review of your full application materials to make sure that your application is up to our Crimson standard. You will have ample time to incorporate any feedback so that you can sit back, submit, and wait for your admissions to roll in.
