It's beyond sad when
preschool admissions coaching is a thing.

But a hired gun like her doesn't come cheap. Shapiro offers a range of services, depending on what clients need. She'll meet with parents over the phone for $150 an hour, or come to you for $250. Packages of six to 10 consultations may be available at a discount to parents who want guidance throughout the admissions process. She also holds two-hour workshops for small groups for a flat $400 per hour fee.
But, as some parents see it, that's a small price to pay if junior gets into Harvard.
I'm hoping that one of my kids will be accepted to the Ivy League and then not attend so as to uphold the family legacy.
I wish I had applied to Harvard, gotten in, and then not have attended like my brother-in-law. I'm jealous that his daughter has the opportunity to be a second generation Harvard admitee-non-attender.
