[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't get myself to care that much about any of this. Are there criminals in the world? Yeah. Are there dumbasses? Yeah.  Is there affirmative action for rich people? Yes, way more than for any other demographic category. Is any of this new? No. [/quote]

Felicity Huffman is facing federal charges for faking a 1420 on the SAT's? A 1420.

I’m be embarrassed to claim the kid who needed to cheat just to get that score as my own.[/quote]

I don't even know how to feel about the scores themselves. I hovered around the mid 1450s taking it pretty much cold and it was fine. Not HYP but Georgetown/Tufts/Davidson/ W&M. Not bad at all. But to cheat for that? With ALL of their resources?

At the same time, her baseline was 1020. If you're dealing with 1020 I bet 1420 sounds pretty miraculous for 15k and I am 100% sure it puts you in a totally different league of schools. Probably not Yale, but a far cry from 1020 league. [/quote]

Yes, I was thinking that. I read sections of the FBI report, & Huffman/Macy's daughter had an SAT tutor for months and was only scoring in the 1200s. [/quote]
