Feds uncover large-scale college entrance exam cheating plot

[Anonymous]

Whick schools took the most kids from this scheme? Has anyone read the indictment?

I'm still a bit baffled by Wake Forest.

Once these students were admitted, how were they supposed to keep up with their coursework? Were the parents planning to bribe the professors or administrators? Did Singer continue to facilitate bribes after enrollment? What would the endgame be?

This is what I'm wondering. It's one thing to bribe your kid's way in to college, but how did they actually expect them to graduate?

It doesn't matter if they graduate, but even attending for a year or so is a decent credential while they try to figure out what to do with their lives.

It's also harder to get into some of these schools than graduate. They can also easily afford a 5-year plan, so there is time to re-take classes etc.

I went to Stanford. Believe me, there were complete idiots who managed to graduate just by picking an easy major.

I'm LOL, and I never do that.

"Photoshop was involved to make nonathletic kids appear athletic
Some cases involved Photoshopping pictures of kids playing sports that they did not play. For example, one parent “e-mailed CW-1 a photograph of his son purporting to play water polo, with his right arm and upper torso exposed above the water line. In the e-mail, Sloane asked, ‘Does this work??’ CW-1 responded: ‘Yes but a little high out of the water-no one gets that high.’”"

I'm guessing not since they left all their kids (who are all over social media) exposed.

Well, Mom and Dad's anti-crisis PR firm (that I'm positive has already been hired!) will advise them to quit ASAP, on their own, without waiting for expulsion.

What will happen to the kids of the cheaters?

So I have a question.

How does a PTA mom like Buckingham face the other moms on her street? Does she pack up and move in the middle of night?

But her son still needs to finish out the school year...so, she can't right?

Georgetown University is deeply disappointed to learn that former Tennis Coach Gordon Ernst is alleged to have committed criminal acts against the University that constitute an unprecedented breach of trust. Ernst has not coached our tennis team since December 2017, following an internal investigation that found he had violated University rules concerning admissions. Georgetown cooperated fully with the government’s investigation. We are reviewing the details of the indictment and will take appropriate action.

OH. SHIT.

Georgetown has known about this for at least 15 months!!

Sucks for the families that were blindsided but good on them for firing him.

Georgetown has many problems, including an embarrassing grade inflation trend. Some heads should roll if they want a good reputation.

It’s equally unfair for someone like Jared Kushner to have gotten into Harvard because his parents gave a massive (also tax deductible) donation. In my opinion, schools that receive federal funding should not be allowed to accept bribes to admit kids but it happens all the time.

Are you kidding.. those rich people in power will never let this happen. Trump also got into UPenn with his father's "donation".

And Trump bought Tiffany, Junior and Ivanka’s way into Penn (the latter two were qtransfers from Georgetown). However, he couldn’t buy Eric’s way into Penn—he stayed at Georgetown.

There are a lot of rich, not-smart kids with famous names at Penn, like Lauder and Perlman (Revlon).

Biden...

Biden got in because he was an Intel Science Scholar.

The grandchildren

Yes -- and Columbia Law, where Caroline Kennedy and Karenna Gore also went to school.

Probably going to get kicked out for ethics code violations.

If they knew. According to the FBI/DOJ some of them didn't.

So does anyone think any of these parents will actually serve jail time? I doubt it. The mastermind will, and I assume some of the coaches will as well.

Probably. I worked with someone who was indicted for embezzlement. She knew the morning the indictment was going to be unsealed, skipped work, and let a few select coworkers know. Her lawyer made arrangements for her to turn herself in so there was no need for an arrest or handcuffs.

Harvard is certainly part of the list.

Apparently they keep super-qualified Asian Americans out so they have a few spots for the dumb kids of Hollywood celebs.
