[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if most of the kids in these cases do realize that their parents paid bribes?

Even if they don't, coming down hard on the kids as well as the parents is the only way to stop this nonsense. Parents should be terrified of tanking their kid's future by pulling such shenanigans.[/quote]

Like umm.. if you would cut a hole in the fence of a country club and push your kid in and send him to enjoy the fabulous banquet,
nobody would really mind, not at all. Especially when they found out that the privileged kid sneaked in without paying the "dues"
whichever the dues in each case are, in this case academic dues.[/quote]

Please understand, I'm not at all defending the parents or the kids in these cases or saying they didn't do something terrible. I'm just wondering if the kids knew all along or figured it out once they got to school.

In this case, he must've known, given that he was supposed to be some kind of tennis star.[/quote]

All students have to sign their college applications stating that everything is true. This student claims Singer signed for him.

I'm not clear on how that could possibly work, especially since Georgetown isn't even on the Common App. If you sign your application and mail it to the college... how does Singer intercept and doctor it up and sign it? Of course if you don't fill out your own application at all...[/quote]
