[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The highly curated, consultant-driven, prestige-fixated families that resort to this kind of thing are typically only fixated on a few schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, and Penn. And it seems to work. Those six are nearly impossible to get in for otherwise brilliant but unhooked students. The rest of the top 25 - from MIT to Michigan - are filled with really bright and ambitious students who got in on their own merit. No one is locked out of Cornell or Rice or Brown or Notre Dame or whatever because they didn't use a $250,000 college counselor. [/quote] Why are they fixated on Duke and Penn?[/quote] These are probably THE bro-iest schools in the US. Bros gotta bro. Typically these are male applicants with bro dads, too. In fin tech and similar [/quote]
