Have you wondered how college admissions work? What do admissions officers look for?

Hear from Crimson Education's Senior Strategist, Devery Doran, a Former Admissions Officer from Harvard University.

Why Are Crimson

With over 12 years of experience, Devery will show the perspective of the admissions decision room.

Devery will speak about how she works with students now to make sure they are on the right path throughout high school and through the application process, including:

  • How college admissions typically work, including why extracuricular and leadership experience is more important than academic success.
  • Qualities top universities look for in applicants, from intellectual curiosity to interpesronal skills
  • The impacts of COVID-19 on early admissions rounds, such as how the large number of applicants resulted in record-low admission rates
  • Admissions strategies, like what to write about in your personal statement and the topics to avoid at all costs.

Oli and his Crimson team made it work. Crimson saved us a lot of useless expenditure of effort – such as guiding us around overseas student acceptance possibilities at certain US universities.  Whilst we did feel a little overwhelmed, we trusted that, having guided other students before, Oliver would be in good hands with Crimson.

Not long after Crimson visited our school we booked a meeting with one of their academic advisors. I was so glad we started early because when we met, my dad and I realised how much there was to do. The Crimson advisor was amazing, an absolute champion. We realised Crimson provided the calibre of service we were looking for. He covered every base and we soon understood how valuable the help would be.

At the end of the day I was really happy that my final submission was uniquely my own. But that was what was so special about my Crimson mentor. She knew what the admissions officers were looking for and provided me with expert guidance, but she also allowed me to create something that was 100% in my own personal voice. My team were just so helpful. I could not have done it without them!
