Guru “can guarantee kids get into Harvard”…if they pay him $200,000 and start coaching at age 11

A college guru has figured out the tricks to getting into some of the country's most prestigious Ivy League schools – including Harvard.

Jamie Beaton, 29, a Rhodes scholar and entrepreneur from New Zealand, has a reputation for getting students into their dream colleges as young as 11.

Beaton, who founded Crimson Education, an educational mentoring program, when he was just 17, suggested that young people should begin figuring out their interests and abilities before they get to high school.

He charges between $30,000 and $200,000 for a four- to six-year program.

He told the Wall Street Journal that students need to focus specifically on what they believe they can excel at, while also finding ways to think outside the box and stand out from the crowd, such as getting a scholarship or to get involved in business.

Children flew in from all over the country to get the best advice from Beaton in New York City, including two from Australia, one from the United Kingdom and two more from Switzerland.

The CEO praised his “great education” and added that it “changed my life.”

“It can change yours, too,” Beaton, who attended Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Tsinghua, UPenn and Yale, told the outlet.

He said Ivy Leagues tend to focus on their tax-free status and work to maintain that idea by rejecting as many potential students as possible.

“If they do so much good for society, why don’t they increase the number of students?” Beaton asked.

He advised students to do 10 activities related to one or two topics, with one focusing on social justice.

Beaton particularly enjoys starting to work with children as young as 11 to prepare them for high school.

His influence was so far-reaching that one of his students referred to him as the “Steve Jobs of college advising.”

He noted that about 130 of Crimson's college counseling clients receive scholarships and receive free services. One program supports more than 30 Maori – New Zealand's indigenous Polynesians – to attend elite schools inside and outside the United States

Since 2016, three years after Crimson launched, 1,003 students in the program have received offers to Ivy Leagues.

The operator of a $554 million company has built a client list this year alone that includes about 2 percent of students admitted to elite schools, including Harvard, Columbia and Brown, among others.

His young clients include 24 who made it to Yale, 34 to Stanford and another 48 to Cornell.

The cost to get Beaton's winning tips and knowledge stats is $30,000, with another $200,000 for a four- to six-year program.

The program includes tutoring in exams, academics, advice on how to develop great teacher recommendations, and how to get involved in extracurricular activities, including publishing a research paper, publishing a podcast, and writing a book.

Beaton, who according to Indonesia Expat has found a way to “bridge the gap between ambition and action,” has an outstanding portfolio.

He received a Rhodes Scholarship to Harvard and a Ph.D. in public policy from Oxford, two master's degrees from Stanford, and a master's degree in educational entrepreneurship from the University of Pennsylvania.

He also holds a master's degree in finance from Princeton, a master's degree in global affairs from China's Tsinghua University, and a law degree from Yale.

Beaton's remarkable success at Crimson is due to “supply and demand,” as elite colleges admit only the best of the best and there are only a few spots available.

Alex Robertson, who runs Tiger Management, the high-profile hedge fund where Beaton worked in college and invested in Crimson, told the WSJ: “I don't think demand is going to slow down any time soon.”

He advised students to create 10 activities related to one or two topics, with one focusing on social justice

Just in July, Beaton distinguished himself even more in his career, raising $75 million from venture funds, acquiring five consulting firms that grew into an online high school, and then opening 26 offices in 21 countries.

When he was in high school, Beaton strived to be “the most qualified” by getting straight A's, starting two companies, competing in debating and engineering competitions, all while holding down a part-time job at a fast food restaurant.

After high school, Beaton was accepted to a whopping 25 universities, including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, Cambridge and more.

During his senior year, he realized he could make a difference with his own success story when he shared it with 230 people at a speaking event.

Despite his success, Beaton believes it doesn't take rocket science to navigate the college admissions journey.

“There's a long history of institutions acting as if you can't train for their processes.” “For example, people once said you can't train for the SAT,” he said.

“But in the same way that you can train for sports and improve your math skills with high doses of tutoring, you can of course also improve things that are important parts of your application.”
