Maybe you should need a photo ID to write a SAT test and the photo could be copied and added to the test so if the person who showed up did not look like the person who took the test, alarms would ring out and someone would be denied access. But where there's a buck to be made...
The proctors I have encountered in the past I would not trust at all to match a picture they take with the proper peoples' tests.
 
@brinkster130 Yes. It is was how they cheated moreso than them just cheating. But hey, good news for Smollett as he's not getting the lion share of the headlines anymore.

It really is mind boggling. Cheating happens, duh, but there were so many more legal ways of cheating and getting your kids a leg up. I also think the fact that the fake athletes also took spots away from legit athletes finally gives people the proof that a rich kid literally took someones spot. Legacy admits can claim the took a legacy spot not a regular spot. AND why did so many of these people sign big checks? THOSE GET FLAGGED! I don't mind seeing these people take the fall, the cheated in an extra scumbag way and they did it in a stupid way.

I'm still laughing at Hoffman's "Ruh-Ro!" email. Nothing like quoting Scooby doo while planing to fraud.
 
Sonetimes people who dont get in say things like "if only I were less privileged" when in reality its only if you were more privileged that would help benefit you.
 
Photoshopping the faces of celebrity kids onto the bodies of real athletes, and submitting them in the admissions process was so blatantly criminal, it's insane. (They had their kids pose in athletic settings for shots that weren't close-up) But removing the faces of the true athletes and replacing them with the celebrity spawn; that's just heinous.

Not only were these kids given more than twice the amount of time for the ACT/SAT, someone later corrected their wrong answers. Or they had someone else take the test for them.

Bribing your kid's way into a prestigious college/university is nothing new. Most of us know it's been going on for decades. Wealthy people donating a new library, or something, so their kids eventually get in...yada yada. But the depth of blatant dishonesty and the arrogance involved in this particular case is unbelievable.
 
Them actors and actresses saw the films that had the thick kid get into college 'cos dad bought the college a whole new wing for the library, then Lori Loughlin does it for her girls. What sort of insight was that telling her girls? Shoulda used a mans name, yup but most importantly in American culture don't get caught. In the series of Buffy it was a demon who had them get on in life.
 
Did Sarah call out this scandal? Some seem to think so!

Though Sarah Michelle Gellar did not explicitly address the headline news or call out those indicted in Operation Varsity Blues, her latest Instagram post has some fans drawing their own conclusions.

On Thursday, Gellar posted a quote card reading, "It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings." She captioned the post, "Enough said."

It's clear by the comments that fans interpreted the cryptic words as a direct response to the scandal. "Felicity and Lori didn't teach [their kids] to do anything for themselves," wrote one commenter. "Don't be like Felicity and Lori."

Given the "enough said" caption, it's not likely that Gellar will elaborate on her position. Either way, the sage advice stands on its own as something all parents can take note of. Some maybe more than others.


Not a lot to go on, seems more like she's reacting to the news than that she was the source behind them, but who knows. 🤷‍♀️
Either way, it's better to be implicated this as the one who revealed it, rather than one of the accused.

Dr Dre's daughter got in to USC 'all on her own'...or did she? 😳
My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own,” the record producer, 54, captioned an Instagram picture of himself and his 18-year-old showing off her acceptance letter on Saturday, March 23. “No jail time!!!
On her Instagram Story, Truly said, "All my hard work paid off. I'm going to film school."
Many media outlets noted the Dre is essentially USC royalty, as his post came six years after he and record producer Jimmy Iovine made a $70 million donation to the university to establish the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.
Oops. 😀
 
I was watching full/fuller house earlier... it occurred to me that we're like surprised and shocked that this chick bred dumb kids? LOL
