1) Singer hadn't cracked the DC/east coast market yet
2) People in DC are doing this but it's sneakier so it hasn't been found out yet
3) people in DC would not be interested in this fraud, it's too beyond the pail for even us

what do you think?

LA is a dumb liberal bubble.

DC is a smart liberal bubble.

And the privates don't have AP classes anymore or are in the process of eliminating them, correct? That'll keep up the grades.

They do all that in LA and SF too.

I think it’s just that Singer was a west coast operation. Becoming a client was probably a word of mouth thing.

I bet there are similar schemes on the east coast.

If anyone in DC tried this, their own friends and social circle would turn them in. Rich & powerful people here keep score and keep track of the relative academic and athletic ranking of the kids at their kids schools, the kids from their Country Club friends and the kids of their coworkers. If anyone gets in a school surprisingly above their expectations, people here would ask questions.

this is a good point. DC has way too many narcs and milk monitor types

I’d say education is more highly valued in the dc area, and even though parents will spend the money necessary for private schools, tutors, sports, etc., they also expect hard work from their kids.

That’s not to say that there aren’t people who would stoop to this, though.

only a dummy would brag to friends about bribing an SAT official.

even Trump isn't that stupid.

This. DC is full of hall monitors. Do yall read this discussion board? People here are the nosiest busybodies who do not mind their own business. Go look at that thread about people turning in their neighbors for not paying VA car taxes.

They wouldn't be able to destroy police audiotapes of their conversations with the ring leaders, nor would they be able to destroy falsified applications that have already been submitted or emails sent to a ring leader who is now talking to police.

I'm sure that this is making the cheaters out there a bit on edge....wondering when is the ball going to drop on them.

No we just do Early Decision to curry favor.

yes but this is all legal. I want to know who here is legit paying off rowing coaches.

It may be legal but end of day, it is the same thing - how to game the system for your kids advantage in admission to top schools

Your an idiot.


It is absolutely NOT the same thing. Its ridiculous to compare getting your kids tutor and test prep courses to bribery (illegal, duh), cheating by having correct answers supplied by the person in charge (um, illegal) and lying about qualifications (not an athlete. Also illegal.)

Do you really not see the difference??

Well you can bet it's not #3. I suspect it's mostly #1. Someone else probably has the DC market covered.

Yep, I'm sure there are Singer equivalents in DC and NY.

Well, sure, but he's the one who got caught. So this looks like west coast bias.

More old money on the east coast so we know how to play the game the legal way. These people in CA seem clueless. They could have picked up the phone themselves and called the Development Office of the colleges they were interested in and fished for offers of admission with the kind of money they were offering.

Do you really not see how you missed the point, or are you deliberately ignoring it?

PP talked about $500k donations and fake testing accommodations. Not test prep tutors.

Also, “you’re an idiot” not “your an idiot.” (Hehe)
