Are you kidding? The amount of schadenfreude it has provided to DCUMers alone is worth it.


Public outrage is large because we all have to pay for these rigged exams and rigged college application fees.

What high school student feels it is fair now to study for an SAT and sit for the exam when sitting next to him is some 30 year old Harvard grad taking the test for the kid down the block.

Lori Loughlin's husband (Becky from Full House) is apparently a vocal Trump supporter who complains about people not 'carrying their own weight' https://uproxx.it/nqhmy5x

Fascinating since they basically tried to buy their way in vs carry their own weight.

Yes. If you study testing design they are all rigged for rich people.

In the past SAT asked sports analogies. It was determined it was biased towards boys. Men said, women have equal access to learning sports, it's not rigged.

SAT determined to have no sports analogies.

No hooks, no private school, not a legacy, not URM, not an athlete, not full pay, no crazy EC’s. Didn’t get into many of the schools where he applied but you only need one! He’s at a top 25 LAC now.

That’s great! Congratulations to him

Lol.

Offering an upbeat assessment of the headline-grabbing college-admissions scandal, Betsy DeVos said on Thursday that bribing colleges gave students “a really neat opportunity” to learn math.

The Secretary of Education suggested that, rather than keeping children in the dark about the bribes that enable their college acceptances, “Parents should sit around the kitchen table with their kids and work on some fun math problems together.”

“Let’s say it’ll cost Amber seventy-five thousand dollars to get into Stanford, and it’ll cost her twin brother Dylan seventy-five thousand to get into Georgetown,” she said. “How much money total will their parents have to wire?”

It honestly sounds like the ringleader guy was taking advantage of gullible rich idiots during a time of anxiety. Outside of HYPS, none of these colleges are worth what they were paying, even if you have money to burn. USC? Georgetown? UCLA? NYU? Give me a break.
