[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- you all are right. But what was kind of shocking to me was how easy it was to make someone into a bogus athlete. If its so easy to fudge such credentials, and [b]have someone take the SAT for you.[/b] You begin to wonder who else is involved and what other ways people use to get in[/quote]

I did terribly in high school (and college).  Nobody took the SAT for me, but I took a lot of my high school tests in "resource room" and the teacher there would gesture to wrong answers I was giving and indicate they were wrong and point to the right answers.  She did this for many tests.  I had extended time on the SAT (which didn't help at all) but nobody gave me answers or changed mine (if they did, I should demand my money back since I got a 780).  But when I was taking some "need this to graduate" test for social studies, I gave it in knowing I had failed and I saw three teachers hovering over it and then later they told me I passed. "HOW?!"  "Don't worry about it."  I know they changed some of my answers.  My parents didn't know about any of this, no money exchanged hands, there were no bribes or promises. [/quote]
