[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talked to (SpamLinkDeleted).comBryan. He charges 90000 dollars for 3 college applications. Majority of their kids supposedly get into ivy and most selective college. So much about college admission. This whole essay shi** need to stop. Who knows who writes whose essay. College admission to most selective colleges is a game. Whoever plays well wins. Half are probably  really deserving, remaining half  belong to resourceful and rich families. [/quote]

Never heard of this guy but I laughed at the pitch. These counselors talk a good game in their PR. When you actually pay up and meet with them, it’s all “Where you go isn’t who you are” and “Let’s pick a safety you’ll love.”[/quote]

Yep, and yet (SpamLink) Bryan is living rent free with the parent above (who can't write a sentence!).

DC's friend used a college counselor throughout high school.  She made herself girl X, started a club for X, shoehorned X into class projects for four years … surely she wrote an essay about X.  She was also an accomplished student with top grades and scores, plus a legacy … deferred, she's now halfway through her time at the [i]safety she loves[/i].  There's no moral.  She's exactly the sort that thrived on meticulous planning. The process suited her even if it didn't have the Hollywood ending, plus she's matured into a more chill sort of college student.  Money well spent.  But who knows maybe sounding like a tool in the essay, is what sunk her.  What's clear: if that magic essay exists, she didn't write it (even with paid coaching, great high school teachers, and educated parents).[/quote]
