The weirdness created by a lack of obvious, consistent formula determining who gets into selective colleges makes it feel super secretive. Stephanie Shyu and her colleagues at AdmitSee think they’ve come up with a tool that can help cut through some of the static, and it’s rankling some folks in the college counseling world.
AdmitSee is many things, one of those things is supplying a platform for the buying and selling of successful college applications. In this interview we talk about the beginning of this new company, how it works, plagiarism, how international students might be especially interested in learning how to “apply like an American,” the value of authenticity in college admissions, and how much AdmitSee’s top earner has garnered from selling the contents of the applications he used to get in to college. Bonus: I also find some way to use “Total Recall” in an analogy about college admissions!
