Crimson Education is the world's leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world's top universities through expert-led guidance and proven, data-driven strategies. Crimson students are 7x more likely to get into the Ivy League than their peers. We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
We're the only college admissions consultancy that brings together:
  • Former Ivy League and Top 20 admissions officers to rigorously review and refine applications
  • Professors and PhD teaching fellows from leading universities to guide students through original, independent research - with pathways to selective peer-reviewed publication or conference presentation
  • Past ISEF winners and judges who coach students to compete for state, national, and international science fair awards
  • Capstone project mentors who help students design and scale leadership initiatives with real-world impact, measurable outcomes, and credible external validation

We're backed by leading VC firms, including Tiger Global, Heal Partners, IceHouse Ventures, and Movac, and recently closed a USD $40M Series D funding round at a USD $640M valuation. We now operate across 21 markets worldwide, including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
The Opportunity
We're seeking experienced Former Admissions Officers (FAOs) to join our global team. FAOs bring insider admissions expertise to students throughout their high school journey, from candidacy assessments to application review, to help them strengthen their university applications and understand the admissions review process.
This is not a case management role - you'll focus exclusively on the admissions expertise that only experienced readers and officers can provide.
What You'll Do
  • Student Consultations (60 min): Provide real-time, strategic guidance on academics, activities, essays, and school selection.
  • Written Application Reviews: Deliver structured, actionable feedback using Crimson's review templates.
  • Mock Admissions Committees (VIP): Join FAO panels to simulate real admissions deliberations and provide debrief insights.
  • Collaborate with Strategists: Work alongside Crimson's Student Success Managers and Strategists to align on each student's roadmap.

Who We're Looking For
Non-Negotiable Requirements
  • Former undergraduate admissions officers, readers, or senior admissions leaders from Top 30 US university, with experience evaluating and/or making admissions decisions.
  • U.S. campus experience (undergraduate level only).
  • Experience evaluating and/or making admissions decisions for domestic and/or international applicants

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience from Top 15 / Ivy-Plus institutions (Premier FAO = Ivies + Stanford + MIT).
  • Experience reading both domestic and international territories.
  • Strong, warm communication skills suited to working with high school students and parents.
  • Ability to provide clear, honest, and actionable feedback with empathy and professionalism.

Why Join Crimson
  • Flexible Schedule: Choose your own hours and workload; fully remote.
  • No Case Management: Focus solely on admissions expertise - we handle operations and client coordination.
  • Continuous Client Stream: Work with students year-round, especially during peak admissions cycles.
  • Global Reach: Support diverse students across 50+ countries.
  • Top-of-Market Pay: Competitive hourly and per-review rates that reflect your institutional background and expertise.
  • Network: Join a global network of FAOs from top U.S. universities.

Role Details
  • Type: Independent contractor (remote, part-time, or seasonal).
  • Timing: Year-round or seasonal engagement, with peak work between September-January.
  • Compensation: Highly competitive rates based on experience and school background.

Join Our Network
Become part of a distinguished global team of 40+ FAOs who've collectively made over 100,000 admissions decisions at the world's most selective universities.
Your insights can help shape the next generation of world leaders - while maintaining full flexibility and professional autonomy.
