[quote=Anonymous]Prestige has an inherently built in attraction that college counselors found an attractive business opportunity catering to parents. So they came up with "spike" as a concept to sell. If these college counselors sell "well rounded", they wont be able to add much value. Make it mysterious and complicated and vola you can charge $100k per year. But this left a market gap catering to parents who dont want to spend those amounts of money or were turned off by the above process or grades/scores might make it problematic to get admission anyway. So college counselors came up with "Fit" to address this segment of the market. Many agree with flaws in chasing prestige but do not see the flaws inherent in fit. 18 year olds are quite adaptable and malleable. The vast majority of the colleges can fit the needs of vast majority of the students. [/quote]
