UMC suburban college student lied about background to become prestigious Rhodes Scholar

[Anonymous]

I guess Amy Chua’s daughters should try to get their mom thrown in jail too. This spoiled conniver is lost in the sauce.

She conned a few naive friends and a handful of gullible ivory tower professors want to believe they helped groom some poor girl when it was actually just a rich private school lifer pretending to be poor. Easy marks.

What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. But if you're going to embellish, might as well go big. But this is what college admissions has come to. Would she have gotten into Penn without this story? And if she went to Wash.U. would she have won a Rhodes? Hard to say.

She doesn't have to convince the public her daughter is lying. She has evidence.

I'm more convinced by the DA's decision to drop the investigation. He said he could not figure out what happened. The mom said the stairs are carpeted, and she fell down like 2 or 3 stairs. So what is the story with all these alleged injuries?

Even if true, I had physical skirmishes with my mom as a teen. Pretty sure my mom slapped me across the face once or twice for being out of line. I didn’t try to throw her in prison and ruin her life after and it didn’t define my entire life like this scammer.

Since we’ve gotten no details on the car she drove, safe bet she got a typical rich girl white sweet 16 car like a $45,000 new Jeep Wrangler, Audi or BMW. Something along those lines. Otherwise she or her sychophants would be in this thread telling us she drove a $3,000 piece of junk. Spoiled brat who created a fake victim narrative.

I’d recommend McKenzie read her books so she can see what a real ruthless tiger mum is like!

I don't think McKenzie quite appreciates how this is playing out with the general public. Unbelievably dumb to double down with a lawsuit.

The public and I’m guessing the top Ivies she tried to get into see her for what she is: a ruthless rich con artist. Only Questbridge flunkies and Penn (initially) were duped.

Also, who called CPS on the family? Perhaps all those calls were because she has a history of making up stories to get back at her parents.
I'm also confused about the month in the hospital.

Sounds like a very mentally ill but brilliant person. I'm sure her parents are heartbroken

What's brilliant about her? She's just a typical rich white overachiever whose rich doctor mom sent her to some of the best private schools in the Midwest and demanded excellence. At the Ivy level, kids like her are a dime a dozen. They all get As, they all write well, and they speak crisp English.

Pure fiction got her into Questbridge, Penn and the Rhodes. Otherwise she's a WashU rich kid who becomes a political aid in Jefferson City, or on the Hill.

C'mon. No. What she nearly pulled off is really remarkable. Her name is mud now, of course, but she nearly pulled it off. Had she not filed the lawsuit, her name would not even have been remembered.

There are no piss poor (lgbtq+) foster kids who attended the best private schools k-12 and grow up with a rich MD mom. Her entire narrative that hooked her for Questbridge, Penn and Oxford was bogus. She kept winning awards and praise because they have never seen such a victim who could write and speak so well. Because her background was fake. It's like a teen fluent in Mandarin showing up to a Chinese 1 course and pretending she doesn't speak the language, so by the end of the year the teacher is convinced this is the most brilliant student they've ever taught. No, sorry teacher, you've merely been conned.

I suspect well documented mental illness, given the parent's silence.

Where does she even go from here? Best would be to apologize and quietly get a nursing degree or something.

I don't see anything remarkable about her. Any Ivy League student in a freshman creative writing class could come up with the same fake narrative to exploit programs. That's basically what foster system allowed her to do, curate a make-believe, started from the bottom, lifetime victim bio.
