Love this story. Fucking uber-rich people.

Also love that people were paying to get their kids into my alma mater.

    Why not just pay a private tutor to home school your kids, give them straight A's and coach them on the SATs?

    Cheaper, legal and more effective.

    Not sure it's more effective. $400k per student seems to be more effective.

    College is a scam - what's the difference between what they did?

    This shit has been going on forever. All those universities are just a marketing gimmick to charge a shit ton more money for the same education you can get online

    This has nothing to do with education. It's all about prestige and superficiality.

    why not just give a ton of money to the school? sounds like way less effort

    Good state schools are usually hard to get into because in-state folks get a discount tuition so everyone applies.

    I remember a bunch of people from my HS getting denied PSU main, but getting into satellite campuses, for example.

    I know a lot of people who went the satellite route because of how hard it was to get accepted into right out of HS, and then transferred to main two years later. I transferred in from a different school.

    Yea, I posted in Trump thread that I was confused because I thought all white people got into school purely on their own merit and nothing else.

    Because your kid is a screw-up and isn't a good student and doesn't want to do the work.

    Probably because it's easier to find out who donated to a university. Then their kid is stigmatized with that information as opposed to this seemingly below the radar plan. It's like full on rich folk helicopter parenting martyrdom.

    it's not like it's impossible to know if someone has super rich parents. especially if they are famous

    Yeah, no doubt. I'm just saying that if your rich parent donates a bunch of money to the prestigious school you are attending it's hard to decouple those two things in people's minds. With this under the board scheme there is a patina of selection merit to cling to (as long as the whole thing isn't massively exposed one day).

    I am wondering a little bit how William H Macy is coming out of this as unscathed, well officially legally, anyway.

    That's got to be the single funniest line of the whole original story.
