Yes, including rich people buying college counselors.
And helping write essays. And starting non-profits. And curating the kids educational experience starting in middle school. It’s pathetic - and yet they think it’s completely justified.

I just said this to my husband/DD as I was reading this thread. Admissions are basically a joke now.

Unless of course kid is a legacy or child of a big donor or someone famous. In which case, Duke loves TO as if allows them to take kids in this category that they would never take if the school had to report test scores for them.

Submit it over the 25th percentile. That is what everyone is advising.

DC scored 1500 on SAT. I think DC should submit to Duke but college counselor said score is below 1550 so DC should not admit. This seems crazy to me. Any thoughts?
