Nah. There's no way they didn't know, even if no one told them about the bribes directly. They know what their real SAT scores are (or that they didn't take the test at all) and they know that they weren't really recruited athletes. These kids aren't that stupid.

This. They knew that they weren't getting in on their own merits. These kids are the definition of entitled and spoiled.

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.

Harvard is not listed in this indictment. You can accuse them all you like, but, as of now, they have not been named in this scandal

Page 122: WILSON also sought to use bribes to obtain the admission of
his two daughters to Stanford University and Harvard University as recruited athletes.

Page 128: In a call on or about November 29, 2018, CW-1, at the direction of law
enforcement agents, told WILSON that he had secured an admissions spot at Harvard through a
fictitious “senior women’s administrator,” and that, in exchange for a $500,000 payment to her,
the administrator would designate one of WILSON’s daughters as an athletic recruit.


Page 129: During the call, CW-1 told WILSON he would need another $500,000 payment to
secure the spot at Harvard. Thereafter, on or about December 11, 2018, WILSON’s company
wired another $500,000 to the Massachusetts account in the name of KWF.

Law enforcement told the cooperating witness (I think CW-1 is Singer) to say that. It isn’t necessarily true.

+1 gazillion.
This is the first time I've seen this girl, but boy, if my daughter grew up like that, I'd jump out of the window.

I'm 100% sure no one on this thread has any idea how much $$ she makes every week. 1.9 million subscribers to her youtube channel, 1.3 million to her instagram, almost 200,000 for her twitter feed. Then she sells stuff and gets influencer payments. 30k a month or more no doubt. She'll have more subscribers now. Welcome to the future!

why do california kids speak like this? california is such a messed up place.

X1,000,000. I'm not black but I fully acknowledge that the deck is completely stacked in favor of rich, white families, including the cheating.

The people that are pissed are the Test Prepper that have spent their whole lives as strivers to find out while they were cheating the system with tutors and test prep they were out played.

Sounds like you’re pissed because you can’t afford a private tutor for your child.

Has probably been banned from his local library for not returning too many books and other misbehavior.

Because everybody has a library close to home or a bus to get there.... keep showing your privilege. It amazes me that you think every town has a library.

Great point.

Affirmative action should help rural folk, not those urban dwellers with access to metro and libraries.

Yes let lump everybody into groups. Maybe we could put stars on their bellies so we know which group we are dealing with.

So then why does she need to cheat her way into college, especially since she admits she's not really planning on learning anything? It's infuriating.

This headline is THE definitive answer to all of those people who whine about affirmative action.

Affirmative action is for the poor to counter the bribes? Huh ?

This scandal shows that wealthy people are more than willing to use their privilege to cheat their way into institutions that they couldn't get into otherwise.

Black and Latino kids are usually assumed to have only gotten in because of their race.

But I can promise that no AA candidate's mom paid someone to boost their SAT score from 1020 to 1420 they way Huffman did.

Everybody that test preps is paying to boost their kids SAT score.

Are you seriously comparing open/honest test prep with paying someone to actually take the test for you or bribing a university official to help get your kid admitted? That's like comparing dieting and exercising to getting liposuction and tummy tucks. There is a difference between what you actually DO and what is done for you.

I'm saying that test prep does not show the actual ability of the kid compared to the kids that don't test prep.

It's more like give your kid organic veggies and fruits and give another kid oodles of noodles and mac and cheese ... then compare their weight and say your kid worked harder. They didn't... they were given better food. Your kid isn't better... their SAT score is manipulated by the Test prep. If you kid was so smart they would not need to test prep... but since everybody test preps you have to.

It's like football players who don't do steroids are expected to compete against players that do take steroids... it's unfair.

If my kid chose to spend his Saturday afternoons doing test prep than he probably should do better on a test that another kid didn't bother to take seriously. There is so much free test prep out there now and you can google testing strategies. That's not cheating, that is called being prepared for an important test.

Students have been test prepping for a long time - I attended a test prep at my HS 35 years ago. Had I not taken the math courses and English courses leading up to the SAT, all the test prep in the world wouldn't have helped me to learn the material. Prep was more about getting familiarized with the test and learning test taking strategies.

Openly prepping for a test in an above board manner is NOT the same thing as being given a cheat sheet or paying someone to take the test for you or cheating off of the person sitting next to you.

So your entitled child never has to work... nice. Perfect that is what we need another entitle kid running the world.

Do the world a favor, make him get a job Junior year of HS and see what it is really like to work hard for grades.

Are you people real or bots?

ARe YOU for real? So what you're advocating is that kids should not prepare in anyway for the SAT? Wing and prayer it? As much as you want to present yourself as some "real world" paragon, you actually don't live in the real world at all. People prepare for big events in their lives. Tests, job interviews, presentations, meetings, etc.

she's going to have a prison baby with one of the guards.

It will make for good reality TV. They will still end up on their feet.

Richer than ever, actually.

Actually, it's probably those scheming criminals who, having little athletic or academic capabilities to begin with, become SJWs.

Translation: don't count on any serious opposition on campus.
