Our counselors have an accumulative 350 years of experience in college admissions support - many having made decisions in admission offices of the Ivy League, Stanford and more. Beyond college selection, our counselors help their students' applications have a strong overarching theme that aligns with their personal passions, achievements and goals.

The depth of our top scoring tutoring staff means we can cover not only SAT and ACT tutoring, but extensive subject area support. Many of our students supplement their school offerings with additional AP classes/subjects taught by qualified teachers, while our IB students are guided by IB experts in a full range of subject offerings.

Our extracurricular support — provided by hand-picked professionals in their fields — includes the building of complex capstone projects, high level research with college professors, internships with companies such as Uber and Amazon, and summer programs in specific areas of interest.

Our essay mentors guide students through the entire essay construction process, including narrowing down on effective topics, building a story arc/theme that aligns with their area of interest, and crafting highly specific answers to school-specific supplemental questions.

Our former admissions officers have read tens of thousands of applications to the Ivy League and other top schools — and know exactly what top colleges are looking for. At Crimson we offer full FAO services from single, school specific reviews to a full FAO round tables.

With so many applicants having strong academics, admissions officers often look to how student’s have spent their time out of the classroom — including over the summer. Our summer program mentors support students in selecting and applying to some of the most competitive summer programs in the country.
