Crimson Education survey cites that students who start their preparation for US University applications in grade 9, are 7.5x more likely to get accepted to the school of their choice

Chennai: Crimson Education, one of the World’s Leading College Admission Consultants, today announced that students who trusted Crimson Education with their aspirations for studying abroad, optimise their entire high school experience. Students who start their profile building journey in Grade 9, stand over seven times higher chances of getting accepted at their dream school, as compared to a general applicant. This is a direct consequence of creating a strategic roadmap for their high school milestones, right from grade 9 to 12.

Outside of academics, extracurricular activities become the differentiating factor between a great profile and an extraordinary profile. These successful students, on an average, invested 53.3 hours per week pursuing socio-cultural extracurricular and leadership activities (ECL). This is in addition to their regular institutional curriculum. These socio-cultural activities consist of community service, volunteering for social causes, personal projects, fundraisers and charity, leadership roles driving action and collaboration at various institutional clubs, councils, or forums.

Academic ECL came in second with students devoting an average of 33 hours per week for research, internships, and education. Students selected in Ivy League colleges also committed 19 hours on average to sports per week.
