Businessweek has published an excellent article with a terrible title about admissions consultants: "How to Buy Your Way Into College." The title would be more appropriate for sections of The Price of Admissions, the book I am currently reading. This article points out that most consultants strive to match their clients to the best schools for them and do so while charging reasonable fees that don’t grab headlines. It is also accompanied by a slide show profiling several college admissions consultants who have fit and their clients’ happiness as their ultimate goal — not Ivy bragging rights.
