Navigating the Changing Landscape of College Admissions
As acceptance rates at selective universities continue to decline, students are turning to fellow students for college admissions advice. Influencers like Kelsey Hoskin, a recent Harvard alumna, are charging students for private college admissions strategy sessions, leveraging their own successful admissions experiences and large social media followings. While some students find value in these services, others question the credibility and ethics of student consultants. The college admissions landscape is further complicated by changing policies, such as the recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. Ultimately, experts emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself and passions during the admissions process.
