[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some admissions officers and THEY WILL KNOW.  Don't let that be the reason your child doesn't get into a school.  [/quote]

No, they won't.

I'm a high school English teacher at a school where wealthy parents routinely pay "consultants" to write their child's application essays for them.  The results are obviously formulaic in a way that is clearly not the work of a high school student, but admissions officers don't care.  The (academically average and below-average) kids routinely gain admission to Ivies and other top schools.  The admissions officers also don't care about the fake activities and profiles these "consultants" create.  These kids' parents successfully purchase admission to top colleges every year.

There's nothing I can do if I want to keep a job.  But the whole process for the super wealthy is not the same as what normal kids understand.

I went to Harvard, and I was not from a wealthy or influential family, and these kinds of kids were there in my time as well.  [/quote]
