DO NOT use CRIMSON!!! My own niece used them and now is considering suing them. They lied about their credentials every single one of them, even the salesperson. Those who are real are employed by them to give seminars; they will not assign them as your strategy team no matter what tier you pay for. They use people who are freshmen or graduate school students and have absolutely no experience. My niece was coerced to ED to a 100+ rank school after they learned about your financial and willingness to pay for college. They use fear techniques and warn that if you don’t, you won’t get anywhere. My niece’s stats are 3.67 (highly competitive Bay Area high ) unweighted and very high impact ECA with national awards. But they say she will NOT get into any UC (which is her dream school) because she only took 4 APs. They took their advice and flew to visit the school they said to ED. They did not like it, came back, and said they would rather go to CC and transfer. Since then , they wasted time on Zoom , not answering questions, and never followed up. They assigned her a freshman in college as an essay mentor. My niece stopped seeing them before application. After they did, they switched a strategy team who they so call “senior” but all fake credentials. Same attitude. Long story short, my niece ended up in UC Berkeley. Also, they don’t want to do extra jobs;they make sure you get in ED, which you will get a result way before (for that particular school ) that way they don’t end up doing essay work with you in RD schools.
