The Outrageous Steps Parents Took To Get Their Kids Into Elite Universities. by sholarr12(op): 11:42am On Mar 14, 2019
Some parents allegedly flew their children across the country so they could take college admissions tests in a "controlled" setting where a proctor coached them on the answers.

Others are accused of staging photographs of their children participating in sports to include in fake athletic profiles for their college applications.

One father paid someone to take classes in his daughter's name to improve her grades, an affidavit says.

All this, federal prosecutors allege, so their children could gain entry to elite American colleges and universities, including Yale, Stanford and the University of Texas, among others.

William Rick Singer, the plot's accused mastermind, boasted to prospective "clients" that he created a "side door" to help wealthy families get their children into top US colleges.

Can you all believe a thing like this happens in the USA?
Didn't you all think all these American students who gain admission into top universities do so because they are so brilliant?

Let people learn from this please.
