Now it seems that there is a cheaper way for students to submit a good essay in their college application. A company called Ivy essays sells essays written by students that have been accepted to top universities. It is not a secret that the students accepted to the best universities are usually privilege and when it comes down to preparing for college they have access to the best tutors and teachers. The bill for tutoring services can get pretty expensive very quickly and a well written essay is in many occasions the factors that determines which students are best prepared for the best universities. This company is providing a service for those students that cannot afford the proper preparation for the application process, in a way it seems that they should also have the same chances to get in to college as the more privilege students do, but at the same time there is the integrity issue that defeats the purpose of trying to help when all it is doing is causing a false sense of approval and undeserved success.
"Now the application essay too, has been corrupted by the almighty dollar. Two years ago 28 year old entrepreneur Daniel kaufman launched Ivyessays. the firm sells packages of model college essays that have been written by students who have been accepted to 33 elite undergraduate institutions." (The JBHE Foundation)
