This was an interesting article. I am an adult and child psychiatrist. I see a mix of people but many very bright people or wealthy people. Some of my patients have used these services. They can be helpful as others said, doing some kind of prep and hand holding, mostly it's about starting the common app early and doing some more activities in HS. The article alluded to a deeper challenge, how to motivate kids who have everything? I have treated kids like this, some of whom got more motivated and went to HYPBSC etc. But that is more like a therapist role. When these companies do those services, beyond working with the founder, it seems somewhat like psychiatry group practices where someone (hopefully good) hires a bunch of people to work under them. The head does not really know what they are doing but has some general supervision sometimes but a lot of it is you are just working with a less qualified person (who the founder is making $ off). for the record I don't have great love for that kind of practice and am old school solo practitioner dr.
