[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What really stands out is that some poor kid from the inner city who fills out his college applications doesn't actually know that he's not competing with Fred. He's competing with Fred's mom who has an MA, and Fred's Dad, and a nanny who does research, and a coach who works for the family and a college admissions consultant and the pilot of the private plane, and some kind of sports strategist, a couple of regular tutors as well as the tutor who 'helped' write the essay. Also, a couple of psychologists, and the staff of the pricey summer camp, etc. What stands out to me in all these stories is that this is a kid who is being produced by a team. It's not really fair that individuals have to compete with conglomerates.[/quote] Well put. But I guarantee you that the colleges know, they just don't care.[/quote]
