"Arms race between universities when it comes to financial aid"
The New Indian Express Coimbatore

You started Crimson at the age of 17. What pushed you to take on elite admissions at such a young age?
I grew up in New Zealand and loved education. Very few of my classmates were interested in going to Ivy League schools. When I was 14, I met a mentor, Ben Kornfeld, who gained admission to Yale, and his story inspired me to believe maybe I could do it too.
So, going through high school, I spent a lot of time on my academics, extracurriculars, leadership essays, and all the various pieces, and I applied to a wide range of schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia and Cambridge. I found out that I had been admitted to all of them, and it was super exciting. Also, I had so many students reaching out to me to ask if I could guide them as well.
Crimson began as a give-back project to help my fellow New Zealanders, and I never looked back since.
