HARVARD STUDENTS
BY YOUR SIDE
The Virtual Crimson Coaching Academy is an eight-hour, weekend-long experience designed to help you navigate the college application process. Students will learn how to build a college list, fill out the Common Application, write a compelling personal statement, as well as several supplemental essays. Our instructors, who are current Harvard undergraduates, have both succeeded in their own college applications and undergone extensive training in college consulting. By the end of the weekend, participants will have a clear roadmap for their application journey and the confidence to put their best foot forward in the competitive college admissions landscape.

"The Crimson Coaching Academy is an experience that I will value for years to come. The skills I was able to execute and expand upon will without a doubt assist me as I begin the college application process. I learned more in this week about college admissions than my high school has to offer. Although not the traditional summer program, I'm glad I was given this opportunity and been lucky enough to attend."
