This is a YouTube video titled "Breaking the cycle of inequality in college admissions" containing a monologue or speech discussing the high costs and lack of diversity among legacy admission consultants, highlighting issues of affordability and inequality in college admissions. The speaker critiques the selective nature and motivations of traditional admission consultants.

And so the next thing that I naturally did was I went and looked at admission consultants. And there were a couple of things that were pretty surprising to me. The first was that the cost was just unbearable. I mean, legacy admission consultants were charging north of $300 an hour. And quite honestly, that's just not a rate or affordable services and resources that many people around the world could afford. A lot of the coaches look the exact there was a lack of diversity. These admission consultants were very selective with who they wanted. They were motivated by success rate. So if they could maximize that success rate, they were looked as really the de facto player for customers to go to. And for me, I knew that that really caused this perpetual cycle of inequality.
