[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have said it's a small percentage, but the ringleader of this fraudulent enterprise had 761 clients.  That's quite a big number you ask me.[/quote]

That was over many years- so it is still small. But how many others like him are there?[/quote]

Wasn’t it over 10 years? 75 per. One guy. Only the top 25 or so colleges. How many freshman seats are there at the top 25 each year?[/quote]

It’s a minuscule percentage.  All of the iidiotic pearl clutching is just a waste of time and energy.  Worry about your own child and nobody else.[/quote]

I agree.  None of this is particularly new or interesting.  People go to lengths to get kids into college.  There are criminals in the world.  They got together.  There have always been people who will "make a phone call" for someone.  75 out of hundreds or thousands is nothing.  [/quote]

It calls into question the legitimacy of the admissions process at several highly ranked schools.  Obviously there were vulnerabilities they didn't take seriously, but now they will.  This is a big story, not just on DCUM.  [/quote]
