[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do admissions consulting for grad school. Flat rate per client. Have more work than I can manage, so I just pick how much I want to do.[/quote]
Only in DC (or NYC) would someone pay real money for this.[/quote]

Truth be told, none of my clients are local. Most are across the US, many are abroad - Canada and India are big markets, Europe as well. Its a simple value prop really: the difference between going to a top 10 school and going to a top 30 school can be the difference between making $100K a year or having $100K be the taxes you owe on your quarterly bonus check. Its an investment that can pay off handsomely provided you work with a reputable firm (of which there are a good number).

Do you have a background, like working In an admissions office, that made you marketable for this?[/quote]

While most of the reputable firms love people with formal association with an admissions office (a lot of the folks in this business are ex admissions directors at harvard, yale, etc) even a lose relationship such as having been an volunteer alumni interviewer or helping while a student is generally considered sufficient to make you marketable. The only hard requirement (absent having been in an admissions office job itself) is having a top tier degree yourself.
