Jamie Beaton says Ivy League entry can be planned
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Rhodes scholar Jamie Beaton, co-founder of Crimson Education, told parents and students in Gurgaon that Ivy League admissions are not luck but can be strategically planned. Beaton said many Indian students lack a cohesive strategy despite long lists of achievements. He advises students to find a unique niche by age 14 and build achievements around it. Crimson claims its students have a seven-times-higher acceptance rate to Ivy League schools than the general pool. The company, valued at $554 million, offers free resources and scholarships for students who cannot afford its services, Hindustan Times reports.
The Indian Opinion
Beaton’s pitch, that top college entry is a science, not luck, sells hope to anxious parents. But it feeds a dangerous myth: that every rejection is a failure of strategy, not a shortage of seats. Crimson’s $554 million valuation proves the market for that anxiety is vast. Yet the real test is not how many students he helps, but whether the seven-times-higher success rate holds when everyone uses the same playbook. Will the niche-seekers eventually crowd each other out? That is the question no consultant can answer.
