Why Are Crimson

Webinar : Your UK and US University Checklist

The "US & UK Milestones: Your University Application Checklist" webinar is your comprehensive overview of what to expect as you apply for your undergraduate degree.

Studying at the world's top universities is an incredible goal but if there's one mistake students in South Africa make, it's trying to start the application process in the middle of a jam-packed Grade 12!

We know students in South Africa are incredibly busy (some of the busiest in the world, in fact) but the truth is, there's never a perfect time to start preparing. So stop waiting for the ‘right’ time and start your journey to your dream school today!

I already knew how to get good grades and test scores, but it wasn’t until I met with my strategist sophomore year that I realized the importance of extracurriculars. I had just been in school clubs and varsity sports, but was able to start working on a non-profit that we integrated heavily in my application to Harvard.
