A cottage industry has exploded to help 17-year-old college hopefuls differentiate themselves in the ever more competitive admissions process as “acclaimed researchers” Frida Ghitis: For a mere $10,000, you can transform your teen into a published author in a peer-reviewed journal.
She says it’s no secret that this is an admissions tactic; it only promises to get worse as schools dump what few objective measures are left in the admissions process.
Ghitis says it's a broken system that incentivizes young people to cynically market themselves rather than actually find themselves.
