[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educational consultants who advocate for your child. [/quote]

This is actually a good point. Lots of UMC white families are using these educational consultants as an edge over the competition. Once you take out the slots for recruited athletes, URMs, legacy, VIP, there aren't many spaces left for children of affluent white/asian families.

If even 20% of white/asian families are using an educational consultant, it becomes incredibly hard to gain admission without one.[/quote]

This just isn’t true. You can do your own research and get the same insights for free.

In the lower/middle school, they are mostly looking at the parents: their demeanor, personality, what they bring to the school community. Are they going to be a PITA, emailing teachers and staff about every little thing? Are they “off” or would other parents feel comfortable dropping their kids off at their house? (Just an example). In the high school it’s more about the kid. They can have real conversations at their interviews and their accomplishments are starting to speak for themselves.[/quote]
