Rich parents have figured out how to game the system to get into Harvard. They hire an “admission consultant” for their little darlings when they enter high school. The admission consultant not only coaches the kid on what classes to take, but helps the kid create an “I Saved the World” community service project, complete with sample project, other consultants to help implement it, and public relations and media contacts to make sure the kid and project get featured in the media.
