One more post about our incredible coverage this week in the WSJ. This went live on digital a couple days ago but today we got to experience the joy of finding ourselves on the front page of the WSJ print edition. Having spent several years in news, I know the high bar that exists for a story to make that front page, and it was incredible affirmation from such a storied publication as the WSJ. Douglas Belkin spent a lot of time on this piece and it is thoroughly reported. He interviewed our CEO Jamie Beaton on multiple occasions, spoke to parents, kids and strategists. He called up Yale and UPenn, and he spoke to Amy Chua (author of the legendary Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother). He met with our investors and he studied and fact-checked the data. This is not a puff piece. Doug raises a lot of critical questions about the state of higher ed admissions, particularly among highly selective universities. In an industry where many consultants make overhyped and unsubstantiated claims, Crimson Education is the only admissions consultancy to have our results verified by a big 4 accounting firm. I invite you to take a read and am interested to hear what you think. #crimsoneducation
