NEW YORK — Kelsey Hoskin charges students $675 for an hour-long, private college admissions strategy Zoom session. And students are paying.
Unlike many traditional private college admissions consultants, Hoskin hasn't served as an admissions officer before. She's a recent alumna of Harvard University and a current medical student at the University of Michigan.
The college admissions landscape is also constantly changing, with the Supreme Court setting new limits on affirmative action on Thursday. "THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP, I SERIOUSLY COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP!!!" reads one text posted by Hoskin. Becky Munsterer Sabky is a former admissions director at Dartmouth and the author of"Valedictorians at the Gate," shares she's witnessed a lot of people from various ages and backgrounds sell college consulting services, including students.
Liu, who was a part of the USA Astronomy and Astrophysics Team in high school, credits his eventual acceptance largely to his academic performance and extracurriculars, not his essays.
