Crimson Education Reviews 370

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!

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.

We had a very positive experience with Crimson Education during my daughter’s UK university admissions process. The team was professional and extremely supportive throughout the journey.
Their personalised approach and attention to detail were especially reassuring for us as parents. Overall, we are delighted with the support provided.

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.

Crimson Education has been a great mentor in my college app process. I have received extensive support from all mentors and regular check-ins to make sure that I was on schedule. Really happy with the service!

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.

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.

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.

We've been extremely impressed by the people at Crimson, who are helping us navigate a complex environment of applications across multiple countries.

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!

My kid has been working with the Crimson team on her college applications. The expert advice provided made a huge difference in her application quality! The Crimson team deserves 5 stars!!

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 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.

I used crimson for applications to the US, my strategist was very attentive and active in reviewing my activity list and supplemental essays. The ERT and my essay mentor also assisted me in refining my essays and made me more confident in sharing my experiences and viewpoints in an in depth and concise matter. Really happy with the great service provided.

I had the best experience with crimson during the whole application cycle. I would recommend a lot!

My son has been working with Crimson for 2 years now, and has gotten acceptances to several top 20 ranked colleges. We wouldn't have gotten those amazing results without Crimson's help! The strategist, capstone advisor and essay mentor not only were instrumental to achieving the top college dream, they also helped shape my son to be a responsible, hard-working, and high-achieving person.

The advisors were brilliant and allowed my son to own the process with a high level of independence from the parents. They helped him keep making progress towards his goals, clarified lots of questions that came along the way with selecting schools and preparing applications, contacting admission teams, etc. My son got the bespoke support he needed throught the process. The advisors are also great at communicating with parents, answering questions, and consistently sending thorough summaries of their sessions. Crimson has a great interface that makes it really easy to see what's happening, communicate and schedule meetings. My child also took advantage of some of the courses they offer and reported they were useful. Their services are quite expenside, but in comparison of the high costs of a university education in the US, definitely worthwhile.

My experience at crimson so far has been really great. They have significantly helped me plan out my whole college journey a lot better. Also the other features that they have where you can write a whole research paper with their support is also absolutely amazing. They have so many resources at crimson and don't shy away from using them. Like when I was doin my capstone project it was related to buidling a curriculum they had everything I would need to a curriculum development guide, a lesson planner and a worksheet planner. It is so great I cannot put it into words. I would like to give a special mention to all my strategists and mentors for their unwavering support, I would rate all of the mentors also a 5/5.
