Higher Education
Selected by:
Wilson
It’s back to school season and we’re back with another Wilson issue. This week, we’ve curated episodes about higher education and the broken systems around it. The college admissions process has always been a black box and to add to that vague process, scammer parents and coaches, affirmative action debates, and a wide discrepancy between socioeconomic classes and you’ll end up with a system that seems to be pitted against people like us. These episodes dive deeper into the scams and the lawsuits to give you a richer understanding of an impossible situation.
