[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I don’t understand why these people had to bribe their way into universities. If they have that much money and the contacts to go with it, then does it really matter where these kids attend college? Lori Laughlin’s daughter would follow the same career path (influencer or whatever) whether she attends ASU or USC. Let’s not pretend that where these kids go to college really matters because they’re set for life no matter what. How was this worth risking their reputations and getting into legal trouble? The risk truly wasn’t worth the reward. Is it for the parents’ bragging purposes? What was the point?[/quote]

The indictment and tapes say it was because they wanted guarantees, not to go through the normal, protracted, stressful process. In some cases, their kids at a minimum didn't test well (Huffman's daughter had a 1020 SAT).

Even with connections that score is unlikely to get someone into a selective college without a hook.

My point is—why do these kids NEED to go to a selective college? These aren’t regular joe shmo kids from Anytown USA who need a selective college for a leg up in life. They already have all the advantages in the world. -PP[/quote]
