Deep dives

The Absurdity of College Education Consultants

The cost of college education consultants has reached exorbitant levels, with some charging $120,000 per year to help students get into top Ivy League schools. These consultants offer personalized services, including curating extracurricular activities, crafting essays, and managing course loads. The problem lies in the increased scrutiny of legacy admissions, pushing wealthy families to seek alternative routes to ensure their children's acceptance into prestigious universities. The price tag for securing admission with the help of these consultants can reach half a million dollars. This undermines the integrity of the college admissions process and perpetuates elitism.
