[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interviewed a famous college counselor during HS.  She runs workships for high achieving student.  Anyways, she said that she can set my kid with a PhD student in college to become a co-author on some research. I would have had to pay the PhD student.

She also has an online magazine that my kid could "publish" examples of creative writing.  I mean there are a lot of "fake" things that can be done.

I know of a group of parents who paid "professional mentors" to get their kids to Robotics Finals.  The same people also pay professional writers to write dissertations and research papers for their kids in college.  Hopefully, now ChatGPT will do all this work.

Anyways, all of this EC bullshit is basically a way to gate keep by college.  Why not take an entrance test for each college and take the ones who have academic merit?[/quote]

+1.  And rich/UMC parents will complain that standardized tests can be gamed and put the poor and first-gen at a disadvantage :-).   That's just a false flag as they don't want you to look too closely at their EC game.   This whole BS about TO and increased dependence on 'soft' factors for admissions in the name of holistic admissions only benefits the rich/UMC but the system wants you to beleive it benefits the poor, URM and first-gen.  Go figure.
