So I didn’t read the article yet — but how did they get into Sysnford and Yale? Through fake test scores? They had to have decent grades.

I think it is pretty difficult. A quick google search tells me this:
9,042 out of 56,676 applicants were admitted making USC a very highly competitive school to get into with a low chance of acceptance for typical applicants. Academically, it has exceptionally high requirements for admission test scores, generally admitting students who score in the top 7 percent.

And it’s not a state school, so the “in-state” is not an advantage. (Of course, all the DCUM uber elites would never lower themselves to USC level).

USC is not public so in-state doesn’t matter at all.

I just went to her daughters IG page. You are right, she's very pretty. Her IG comments are in shambles.

I wonder why William Macy was not named. The court documents are floating around the internet and he is referred to in them as her husband being a participant.

Which one is the husband?

SO disappointed in Lori Loughlin! What's worse, the humiliation of the world knowing she did this or her kids being too dense to get into college on their own?

No, I wasn't born yesterday. I know this happens. And it's not that funny either. Children deserve better from their parents. Sad world we live in.

WTH happened to Felicity Huffman, that she looks like a completely different person? Anyone? I did not recognize her!
