[quote=Anonymous]Having done admissions interviews for my Ivy alma mater... I promise that admissions staff can tell the difference between an essay written by a kid and an essay written by a consultant. They can tell the difference between padded resumes and genuine intellectual interest. And they don't care at all about recommendations from famous people. Yes, legacy preferences and athletic preferences are real, and corrupt, and yes, test prep can help, on the margins, but if you are planning to hire a consultant, don't waste your money, people. Take the money you'd have spent on that and put it into a fund to help your kid buy their first home or whatever. It's a much better investment.[/quote]
