How much do you think money and parents' social status influence elite college admissions?

@OHMomof2 Are you anywhere near that income level?

Because after tax, mortgage, food, cars, utilities, cable, etc. there is no money for that. Especially if the family has multiple children. I suppose a family could technically do it and go into debt, but that doesn’t imply that a family should or would do it. My family earns more than that and they can barely pay the bills, let alone blow $10,000 on a “consultant”
