[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lately, I’m getting the sense that a combo of parents, AI, and paid consultants are doing all the work completing the applications. Are your kids doing anything?[/quote]

Why do you care? You post here so much its nauseating. [/quote]

I don’t really that much here at all, but if you feel nauseated, so be it.

I guess I’m just trying to gauge my/our naïveté as we embark upon this process. Both my kid and I avoid using AI. We won’t pay consultants, not because we can’t afford it but because it feels like a scam. The expectation is that the package she submits will authentically her work. There seems to be an increase in posts here from people looking to hire not just one, but multiple consultants. And/or posters recommending AI for everything. It all feels wrong in my gut. [/quote]

Ok then don't do it if you don't see the value in it, but you sound bitter that others do. [/quote]

Agree. I never understand people like the OP. They are just grievance posters.
This place was so much more helpful with my first kid, without all of these pity party people.[/quote]

They don't want to put in the work, so they rationalize to themselves that everyone else is cheating, helicoptering, etc, and that one day it's going to bite them in the rear because their kids will fail. And then the few times it does happen that some kid fails, they cherry-pick that to reinforce their narrative. The "kids without tutors" thread has a lot of posts in that vein. Maybe it's all OP :-)

How is hiring someone or using AI “putting in the work”?

[/quote]

We're not using AI. My kid IS putting in the work, the consultants just guide the process and keep him on track timewise. [/quote]
