My name is Katie Reilly and I’m a reporter for TIME magazine, where I cover education issues. I received permission from College Confidential to post here. One year after the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal broke, I am interested in speaking with students and parents about how it has affected them, if at all, especially if you/your child is a high school junior or senior going through the admissions process now.
Did the scandal change the way you view college admissions or the way you approach the application process? Have you thought about the scandal at all while applying, or discussed it with your child or other parents?
I would love to hear your perspectives. If you would be interested in speaking with me, please email me at katie.reilly@time.com
Thank you!
