[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only issue I have with Questbridge is that so many people cheat. There are a zillion ways to hide your income. Tiktok is full of Questbridge kids posting from their large suburban homes. My teens are very salty about it: "i know the cost of living is lower elsewhere but what the heck?"[/quote]

This!

I volunteer at a CBO for FGLI kids. One of my students parents has 2 businesses (to do with flipping houses and materials for those). Parents found tax loopholes to keep their AGI low — and they could get a free college advisor. After numerous talks with her about how she was not really LI, she and her parents decided WE should focus on getting her to Finalist Status so she could put that as an Honor on her RD apps! As if they were paying me!!! LOL. I made a schedule for her essays and she wanted them done before school started — I think they thought I would be writing them for her! I said if you can get it done before school starts, I’ll provide feedback ASAP. The entitlement kept showing — she asked me to shorten her QB essays on the due date. I ignored her request of course — so she did not submit!
