[quote=Anonymous]From a college counselor on Reddit:

We had a job applicant once for a technical writer position who wrote in their resume that their past job involved writing admissions essays for Chinese students to apply to American schools, and their achievement was that some pretty high % of those students got into Ivy League schools using essays they wrote.

Another one:

Korea prides itself as a meritocracy but there’s also a lot of corruption going on. Even the brightest students had to do something a little sus to reach a T10.
In my ten years working here, many students were very smart but still quite bad at writing. Only three students I saw didn’t need anything at all except, “Hey, you’re really really good.” They themselves had no idea.
I think of myself as a session musician, sprucing up the solo on someone’s song. I charge a lot when I think the student has a real shot at an Ivy. If not, I tell the student that my help won’t change anything and that they should save their money. Still, most of them fall prey to someone else’s promises.
People charge insane amounts because no one really knows what’s going on, and even if a student feels they got scammed, who are they going to complain to? “Excuse me, I paid someone to help me cheat and the cheating was subpar.”
The only thing worse than gentrified neighborhoods is gentified universities. They create a tremendous imbalance based upon exclusion, and so long as the need for prestige exists the college consulting businesses will thrive, especially in places like Korea.
