[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tale as old as time...

Except now the veil is lifted a bit.
We now know that these rich kids won't fade into the background of daddy's business or a life of leisure. They get to be the international power set who pull the strings of our lives and are above the law.[/quote]

[b]Yep. And they got in by cheating - easy to get someone else to take the SAT for you, then daddy bribes the college with a donation.[/b] Then they cheat as naturally as breathing once in the college. Pay for test banks, pay someone else to do their work and write their papers, someone else shows up to take their test, etc. Nobody is punished even if caught or suspected of cheating. The colleges turn a blind eye to the highly choreographed rich foreign cheat rings, while a poor middle class American kid on scholarship will be humiliated in front of a ethics board. Their degrees are fake.

And yet, they will still run the world.[/quote]

This is actually true, for the most part.  I teach at an international school in a country where many of these kids originate, and the majority DO cheat on college admissions exams/process.  Not all, but the majority.  US college AOs know it, too, because they keep admitting them year after year.  I am shocked over and over again by the admissions that are coming in for some of these kids who can barely speak English (their grades don't seem to matter: I am fairly certain the paid agents/"college councilors" the parents all employ have a way of altering the transcripts somehow).

I wonder if this is true not only for the extremely rich but many middle class abroad. Don’t know what the going rate is for manufactured transcripts and test scores, fake activities etc. But it might very much be worthwhile, financially. A well-off middle class person in many of these countries will qualify for financial aid in the U.S., even though they enjoy a higher standard of living than donut-hole American families not qualifying for financial aid. (In Europe this is especially true.). Some of these families are even wealthy (though probably not super wealthy) but they can easily hide assets. They pay 25k to the school and get financial aid for the rest; it is basically free tuition.[/quote]
