As an FAO you’ll provide insider, student-appropriate guidance that strengthens applications and demystifies the review process. You’ll collaborate with Strategists, Tutors, and Mentors; you focus on the admissions expertise—no case management.

Student consultations (60 mins): real-time strategy on academics, activities, school list, essays, and timeline.
Written application reviews: structured, template-based feedback students can reuse.
Mock admissions committees (VIP): collaborate with FAOs to simulate committee deliberations and deliver a debrief.
Team collaboration: align with Student Success Managers and the student’s wider Crimson team to execute the roadmap.

You’ll be a great fit if you have

Preferred

Experience from Top-15 / Ivy-Plus institutions (Premier FAO = Ivies + Stanford + MIT).
Warm, clear communication with teenagers; ability to give honest, actionable feedback.

Engagement & compensation

This is a remote contractor role that gives you complete flexibility to set your hours and volume of work, with activity naturally peaking during admissions season.

We offer highly competitive rates, and recognize the added value that comes with your background.

By joining Crimson’s global FAO network, you’ll not only be compensated at the top of market, but also gain the flexibility, professional prestige, and global impact that comes with shaping the next generation of world leaders.
