Don't have college-age kids, huh? It's not THAT hard if you have a 4.5 GPA and a 1600 SAT. Or if you play your sport at an Olympic level. If neither of those apply, it's pretty tough.

And she didn't "just "join the team" for the same reason that my son doesn't "just join" the Lakers. There aren't no-cut teams in D1 (or D2 or D3 sports). There are probably literally 10,000 young women her age who row better than her who would like to go to USC.



What I mean is why didn’t she just join the rowing team in high school so she didn’t need to lie? I am sure mommy and daddy could have afforded it as well as expensive camps and clinics?


Because that would have required work and effort on her part. It was hard enough to get that picture of her sitting on the rowing machine. Probably had to snap that between parties and shopping trips.


Also her high school didn’t have a rowing team. Her app claimed she was part of a non-existent club rowing team

According to the USC incoming freshman profile, the middle 50% of fall admits had an SAT score of 1400-1530. That's pretty competitive.




But hasn’t her family’s had money since she was born. They could’ve had tutors 24/7 and private school and SAT tutors and all of that. She could’ve gotten into a good school on her own merit with all of that on her side. Well, unless she is a total idiot but then why bother? Send her to a normal college. I wonder how many tutors she has in college to keep her from failing.


Apparently they are all way too wrapped up in the social side of it to worry about little things like competence.

I wonder if more of these kids are redshirted--part of their parents' strategy for getting an edge over the competition--and therefore are more likely to be at least 18 when the schemes were being plotted.

lmao. You are deranged.


Why? Seems like it's all along a continuum of wanting an advantage for one's child among the affluent.

Love it! Yes, I a mom out of it. I’m a teacher on spring break and am just now reading up on this scandal. There is no time to read People and other rag mags when school is in session. I have a pile of magazines that I am reading this week.

Do you feel like this is the result of Loughlin not taking a plea? I saw a headline (didnt click) that Huffman is facing up to 10 months in prison.

Why do kids of rich people like this bother with college? Especially a challenging school. They don't need an education to get thru life. They are taking someone else's seat.

Sounds like LL pissed off the prosecutors with her antics, continued bucking of the system, and failure to take the plea. They're out for blood now (and rightfully so)!
