Are you kidding.. those rich people in power will never let this happen. Trump also got into UPenn with his father's "donation".

And Trump bought Tiffany, Junior and Ivanka’s way into Penn (the latter two were qtransfers from Georgetown). However, he couldn’t buy Eric’s way into Penn—he stayed at Georgetown.

There are a lot of rich, not-smart kids with famous names at Penn, like Lauder and Perlman (Revlon).

Biden...

Duke University was the destination for Ralph Lauren’s daughter Dylan. They are called “Development cases.”

Biden got in because he was an Intel Science Scholar.

Every year there are-- is a group of families, especially where I am right now in the Bay Area, Palo Alto, I just flew in. That they want guarantees, they want this thing done. They don’t want to be messing around with this thing. And so they want in at certain schools. So I did 761 what I would call, “side doors.” There is a front door which means you get in on your own. The back door is through institutional advancement, which is ten times as much money. And I’ve created this side door in. Because the back door, when you go through institutional advancement, as you know, everybody’s got a friend of a friend, who knows somebody who knows somebody but there’s no guarantee, they’re just gonna give you a second look. My families want a guarantee. So, if you said to me ‘here’s our grades, here’s our scores, here’s our ability, and we want to go to X school’ and you give me one or two schools, and then I’ll go after those schools and try to get a guarantee done. So that, by the time, the summer of her senior year, before her senior year, hopefully we can have this thing done, so that in the fall, before December 15th, you already knows she’s in. Done. And you make a financial commitment. It depends on what school you want, may determine how much that actually is. But that’s kind of how the the side and back door work. "

Soon to be a major motion picture. I'm thinking Matthew Mcconaughey as Singer?

No. Needs to be someone who looks more trustworthy, even preppy.

Bryan Cranston IMO

This headline is THE definitive answer to all of those people who whine about affirmative action.

Affirmative action is for the poor to counter the bribes? Huh ?

This scandal shows that wealthy people are more than willing to use their privilege to cheat their way into institutions that they couldn't get into otherwise.

Black and Latino kids are usually assumed to have only gotten in because of their race.

But I can promise that no AA candidate's mom paid someone to boost their SAT score from 1020 to 1420 they way Huffman did.

Everybody that test preps is paying to boost their kids SAT score.

Come on, you can't seriously be comparing test prepping a student with someone fraudulently impersonating a student to take a test for them?

Once these students were admitted, how were they supposed to keep up with their coursework? Were the parents planning to bribe the professors or administrators? Did Singer continue to facilitate bribes after enrollment? What would the endgame be?

This is what I'm wondering. It's one thing to bribe your kid's way in to college, but how did they actually expect them to graduate?

Arizona State?

I am not following.

The whole reason Lori Laughlin did this was so her daughter could go somewhere that wasn't ASU.

But was that where she was initially supposed to go, or are you just bashing ASU for no reason? That college does a lot of good for their instate students. President made it bigger and adds online online opportunities to equal over 80K students. little to no-one gets rejected in-state. Smart kids get full rides. He stated he wanted everyone an opportunity to get educated. I rather my kid go to a school like that, than an uptight rich white school these parents bribed for.

Sorry, just not a fan of college bashing

[b]

ASU is a known school for partying and not so serious students. Have you been living under a rock?

I think you have. Maybe in the early 2000's, but that school has undergone a huge transformation. I used to live in Phoenix. ASU is a fantastic growing school. #1 in the country for innovation. #11 for undergrad teaching. #38 for best undergrad engineering. #50 top public school. Not stellar, but not an idiot party school.

Can you post the lists that you found it was a top partying school? I don't see it on any of the current lists or from any the past couple of years. I do see Tulane as the #1 on most of them though. I did find ASU as #56 in Niche, but USC was listed as #18. I also found it as #40 on Stacker (smacked between #41 UMCP and #39 Lehigh) and USC was listed as #33.

Is USC just known as the better school because more elite kids go there? More families that can pay for their kids to get tutors, test prep, etc.... to bump up the average scores of a college. To get kids to graduate on time because they don't have to work part time or skip a semester to work to pay for college or support their parents? To let their kids into fancy programs, internships, etc.. where they haven't truly earned it. Or to bribe or donate to get their kids in the school? Over 40% of the kids at USC have families that make over $120K. ASU only have 15% that do and has 35% of kids whose families make less than $30K.

So basically PP, you are judging the worth of the school by the elite that goes there. USC is ahead of ASU in every partying list. So is ASU just considered the party school in your mind because it doesn't cost a fortune to go there or that the kids aren't rich enough to be handed everything including high GPA's and test scores? Maybe it is because they allow surrounding compact states to come in for in-state tuition even though they know it will never bring up their mean GPA and scores. Disgusting.

You are ignorant and elitist as well.

USC is currently ranked 21 by US News.

THIRTY kids out of tens of thousands.

Thirty kids being made an example of. And honestly - these headlines are only generated because of 2 families out of the 30. That's the power of fame and it was worth every penny because you can't pay for this type of coverage.

Families will think twice about bribery in an age where everything is traceable and there will be legal precedence for clamping down on rogue admissions officers, athletic staff, and college prep tests.

Exactly. This guy ran this for minimum 6 years. You would think he had at least a hundred clients a year. And he is ONE person of many doing it.

Didn't he himself mention 761? Saw it earlier in the wire transcript. 761 'side' doors.
