[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Consultants are risk adverse. They want no surprises - - no upsetting, negative surprises. They manage expectations because it's good for them. They look better, and get better reviews/referrals when you, instead, are grateful when results come in.[/quote] This reminds me of the research in Freakonomics that was done on real estate agents' choice of list prices. The focus was on the agents' cost-benefit analysis for listing a home at a higher price. Higher-priced home listings and stretch school applications are each more risky and more labor intensive for the agent/consultant. [/quote]
