[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the PP point wasn't whether it is a good use of YOUR money, but it's value period. Most kids who I see getting into top schools do it on their own, naturally bright and gifted, no test prep or "curating" activities needed. [b]I think the admissions officers know who got their on their own and who got their with excessive support.[/b] Like it almost works inversely, the more you spend the worse off your kid is-- they look bad to top schools and if they make it past-- cant keep up with the naturally brilliant kids who didnt need all the extra help. I don’t disagree with what you say, but know UHNW folks that think nothing of spending these sums.[/quote] The admissions officers have no idea; the words on the page say the exact same thing. Well curated expensive college counseling is like good make up and wardrobe, you don't even know its there. I don't know why people have to lie to themselves like this. [/quote]
