I just live for this every Monday, honestly. The weekends are just hard right now and to have this to open up on Mondays is just a gift so thank you. Also thank you for posting the full Tracy Chapman performance! I’m not on “X” 🙄 and couldn’t find the whole clip anywhere this morning. Glorious.
I was surprised in the article about IECs how *FEW* families from Harvard's class of 2027 said they worked with an IEC. 23% honestly seems low when you consider how much stress/money people have. I earned a certificate in College Counseling from UCLA a few years ago, and while the focus was on reducing barriers for all students (many of us are public high school counselors just trying to help our students), there were definitely people there who were planning to go straight for the families who have the money to throw at this perceived problem. The concept of hiring someone to make your kid "Ivy bait" is so late stage capitalism it hurts.
If you don't want to read the article, here's a quote that sums up his delulu-level marketing, especially in light of the end of affirmative action:
“When I’m working with these students, people might say, ‘Chris, you’re helping the rich have an unfair advantage.’ Yes,” he says. “But an unfair advantage over other rich students. I’m not helping a wealthy client take the spot of a low-income student or an underrepresented minority."
I am so embarrassed to say. I know I’m showing my ignorance but I have to say I’ve never had heard of S.A. Cosby and I literally thought you meant Sexual Assaulter Cosby. I clicked on your link, indignantly. Thank you, for always exposing me to new people. Ay yay yay!

Hub City Press is based in my college town of Spartanburg, SC, so I thrilled at the mention! They are an amazing group of folks.
