Re “Tufts Turns to YouTube to Size up Applicants” (news article, Feb. 23):
While the Tufts University invitation to applicants to submit YouTube videos is an opportunity for high school seniors to showcase their creativity and themselves, up close and personal, I can’t help but wonder if this initiative will give rise to one more cottage industry in the lucrative college admissions business.
Video producers and directors can now join private college consultants, SAT tutors and essay editors raking in high fees from families willing to pay whatever it takes to gain an advantage in the college admissions race.
