Excellent experience

Really grateful for Crimson and my team’s support throughout my university application. My strategists and all my other instructors were really friendly and knowledgeable about their respective portions of university applications. I was provided with professional, high quality support in preparing for admissions tests and interviews, as well as useful advice and insights into the admissions process.

Fab Guidance

As a parent the support and guidance provided by Crimson was fantastic and the strategist guided my child every step of the way encouraging them to give it their best shot and challenge them to do better. And because of Crimson my child was able to confidently apply to the reach universities and managed to get offers within their reach.

An Amazing Support System for Students Who Want to Study Abroad

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!

A big thank you

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 twice

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.

Third time using Crimson

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"!

Crimson Education has been an incredible support system. From personalized guidance to strategic mentorship, the team has helped me navigate the complexities of the admissions process with confidence. My mentors have been incredibly knowledgeable, offering tailored advice that aligns with my strengths and unique experiences.The structure and organization of my program made everything seamless, with regular check-ins and clear timelines that kept me on track. Beyond that, the motivation and encouragement I received from my mentors truly made a difference, pushing me to aim higher and believe in my potential.Overall, my experience with Crimson has been amazing. I highly recommend it to any student looking for expert guidance in achieving their academic and career aspirations!

More Marketing Than Advising

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.

Helpful Support Team + Enjoyable Experience

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!

Best college counselling platform!!

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 unlocks possibilities

Crimson Education mentorship is far more than guidance; it is perspective-giving. You have helped broaden horizons, spark confidence, and unlock possibilities that may otherwise have remained unseen.Crimson has really opened our eyes as a family to what is possible.

We would recommend Crimson to any HS student

Both of my sons (junior and senior) are using Crimson and they are both getting alot from their experiences. From the excellent senior strategists to the Capstone, Essay and SAT mentors. My older son also completed IRIS and learned so much from that. The team are experts in their field.

Reliable

I first found Crimson after searching online for agencies that could help me apply for universities. I decided to send a message, and their reply was incredibly fast. They explained their services and found me a mentor is less than 5 days. My mentor, Michael, is amazing: he always replies to my messages quickly and is truly an expert regarding universities in Canada. They helped me a lot with choosing the best places to apply, managing deadlines, planning my essays, and helping me go through this stressful moment. I was accepted to my dream universities, University of Waterloo and UBC. I would highly recommend Crimson to make the process of applications a lot more smooth.

Crimson has been a Game Changer

Crimson has been a life saver throughout the college application process. I have had a dedicated team of strategists, essay mentors, and subject tutors who have made sure that I am more than prepared for applying to my dream schools. And most importantly, they know exactly how to make the process as calm and low-stress as possible. I highly recommend Crimson for anyone looking for college counseling support!

The team

The strategist was great! She was passionate, responsible, responsive, accurate, attentive to details, emphatic. In some instances she was too pragmatic, which was somehow making the applicant to refrain from brave decisions. Her experience is crucial and it is aimed to help the application to reach his/her goals in accordance with reality. Also, she was flexible enough, though several times were problems with re-appointment or short notice appointments. The Relationship Manager was supportive with tasks, but not all prompt in responsives. FIrst of all, even very small and easy tasks (please provide email address of financial assistance advisor) were responded within 72 hours (though the request was on Friday evenening). I understand, Crimson employees work 5 days per week during the work hours, but there is time difference, national holidays, etc., which shall be taken into account. And Relationship manager was not available outside Monday-Friday and even was not prompt in answering within work hours. As per my opinion, from Crimson there shall be somebody available 24/& for short messaging (Whatsup, SMS) for simple and easy tasks like provision of email addresses, and I asssumed that shall be Relationship Manager. If I utilise services of Crimson in future, my absolute condition will be 24/7 contact. Other advisors (Essay, Finacial, Capstone) were good as per feedback of my son.

Crimson education is the best college counselling service

Crimson education was very helpful for me to achieve my college goals. They helped me through everything from internships to my own passion project. They greatly helped me built my college application as well as tailoring my essays to perfection which made me a competitive applicant to colleges. I wouldn't have achieved much without their help.I would definitely recommend Crimson.
