College admissions expert sends shocking message about Ivy League prestige: 'Is it worth the investment?'

College admissions strategist Greg Kaplan told Fox News Digital about his push for students to focus on long-term success over short-term prestige when applying to college.

Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.

But Kaplan warns that such tunnel vision can obscure what truly matters in the search for success. 

"We really have to ask ourselves, ‘what are our kids learning at these schools and is it worth the investment?’ Because if they're going to be exposed to this groupthink where there's no room for civil discourse, that is unacceptable because they're not equipped to go into the real world. And what you see is our young people who are getting fired from tech companies because they're using their jobs as a chance to do political protest, and then they're complaining about it," Kaplan said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
