Admissions consulting question from current MBA

Hello! I'm a 2nd year MBA at McCombs, and am creating a business plan for VLIC, a pitch competition in Austin.
I have interviewed people in my MBA class and a few undergraduates who used admissions consulting for their college app.
But I think a new frontier for this industry is helping students around the world navigate the process to attending a US high schools.
I thought I would ask Stacey Blackman Consulting if they like this idea, and if so ... how would a good business startup play out? Do admissions consulting firms buy each other or sell out? I need to convince judges this is a good idea, and they will want an exit strategy. (Is there a possible exit strategy?)
Does anyone there know of firms that have purchased each other and for about how much?
In return for some info on M&A transactions, I can send over the business plan for your business development teams to check out!
Thank you!
