My name is Stacy Teicher Khadaroo and I am an education writer for The Christian Science Monitor, an international news organization (see www.csmonitor.com for questions). I have received permission from College Confidential to post here.

How has last year’s big admissions scandal affected you as you head into this year’s college admissions process?
I am interested in hearing from students (and parents) about how the Varsity Blues admissions scandal, and the related dialogue about fairness in college admissions, has affected your family conversations or your intended approach to selecting and applying to college. If it hasn’t affected you at all, what is top of mind for you as you head into the process this fall?
If you’d like to share your thoughts with me and possibly be interviewed for a story, please email me at teichers@csps.com. Thank you.

I am a little sketchy about these private prestigious institutions now, as a senior in the class of 2020, I am a little concerned towards colleges like Yale, USC, and others because of the admission scandal.

However, I will still apply to some of these schools cause even if I get in I just would like options to have as to where I’m going to spend the next four years of my life
