Wealthy parents are paying up to $1.5 million for consultants to help get their kids into college — and there are ways to do it that are completely legal



In an ongoing college admissions scandal, 33 parents have been accused of paying millions of dollars to fabricate their children's credentials during the college admissions process.
But there are other, legal ways the ultra-wealthy try to increase their children's chances of getting into an elite college.
This includes paying up to $1.5 million for college consultants or making donations of more than $10 million to the school their child is applying to, according to The New York Times.

On Tuesday, dozens of people were charged in a college admissions bribery scandal uncovered by the FBI. Among those charged are Hollywood actors, college athletic coaches, business leaders, and CEOs and executives in finance, real estate, and other industries.
