Business plan competition: Getting kids into US high schools

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 Accepted 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.
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!
