[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a link to the other names? TMZ says one of the actresses paid 500,000 for her two daughters to be recruited to the crew team at USC, even though they didn’t row. A $500k donation could get your kids into a lot of schools.[/quote]

Oh my dear. Back in the day, perhaps. Add a zero,  please.

My SLAC alma mater receives between $10-20 million in donations a year. Some are from foundations. 500k would be a huge donation.[/quote]

Not to the top 5 universities in the US.

Wake up. These people were caught because they couldn’t afford the many millions it takes to legally buy your way into Harvard. End of story.

Perhaps for Huffman, yes, but the other one is married to Mossimo Gianulli whose Mossimo fashion line was bought and sold by Target.  He's super loaded.

These people were caught because they're morons and went about it a terrible way.  I'm sure that a $500k donation to USC would have gotten both of her girls in with no seedy bribery needed.  My uncle donated $250k to his alma mater, a school in the same league as USC, to get my loser cousin admitted.  Then, when he was nearly put on academic probation, he donated the $100k needed to secure a new charter bus for one of the sports no one really cared about, and bam, his grades increased enough to keep him off probation.

Donations for admittance and good grades is not a new or foreign concept at all.

I bet Lori's girls even had knowledge that their mom did this.  USC is seen as the It College for all CA YouTuber's and the offspring of many hollywood elite.  Stanford is a better school, no doubt, but Palo Alto doesn't have the same draw.  [/quote]
