I wanted to write a letter as a) a response to the article (included below) and b) as a response to college admissions in general. They create urgency so they take action now and sell the nightmare that is college admissions. First, college admissions is a severely overrated idea. Rather than concentrate on college admissions as a game, we should look at it as more of a project, recognizing college as the beginning of one’s life not the final frontier. When I put a college admissions plan together, do I emphasize the same things that the consultants referenced in Park’s article do?
