Re: Massive College Cheating Scheme

I was driving and heard on the radio that someone handed over $400k to a soccer coach. I mean, wouldn't it just be better to give your kid the $400k?

    My favorite about all this is Lori Loughlin's daughter's past social media posts are coming out. Her basically saying she hates school, barely went to her class/did any work at her HS. Saying school sucks and all she's excited about is the party life.

    Edit: But yeah, not in the least big surprised with this. It's still entertaining though.

    Meanwhile, Lori Laughlin's kid, although an idiot, is damn cute

    I just posted about this too. Shes cute but a fucking moron. From the article I posted:

    “It’s the coolest thing getting DMs from girls, like, ‘I’m applying to college right now, what did you do?’”

    "you're building your brand..." christ that phrase alone makes me wanna take an ice pick to my nostrils.

    and gee am I nuts for wondering if these kids being completely unaware of the machinations isn't maybe the truest claim ever made?

    right

    to me it's clearly about the parents wanting to be able to say the kid goes to a good school. otherwise, who gives a shit, you're rich. have the kid go wherever the fuck they want, they'll be ok either way

    For sure. For these two actresses, I think their kids are "influencers*", so college wasn't even necessary.

    *Don't even get me started on a rant about those pieces of walking trash (influencers, in general)

    This. It’s all about status. If you leave in Southern California and tell people your kid goes to USC, rich people are impressed.

    USC is a great school no doubt (despite the location). Is it even in the top 10 hardest schools in California to get into? I agree it is all about status. I can't believe the accused (all of them, not just the celebs) couldn't find a cheaper, legal, more effective way to get their kids into these schools.

    this super-scientific poll:

    says that USC is the 6th hardest school to get into in CA

    You clicked through that whole thing? Yikes

    My guess, if #6 is true...
    Stanford
    Berkeley
    Cal Tech
    UCLA
    Cal Poly

    Im not seeing it this way much at all, this seems to have more fingers than just college admission, especially with the paid Amazon gig she got within the first year.

    I take it as they viewed it as a big time investment in their future, a kid with a recognizable last name paired with well respected college credentials and good connections is going to get an interview wherever they want.

    It was a way to ensure their bloodline keeps making big time money.

    According to US News which seems to have the most respected university rankings, USC is #22 (tied with Berkeley) in the entire country.

    Cali schools ahead of USC:

    7. Stanford
    12. Cal Tech
    19. UCLA

    I really don’t think anyone is actually surprised. I just think most people are fascinated with the because they got caught and there are hopefully some repercussions.

    Yea, it's that there's actually something (supposedly) happening to them, punishment-wise.

    Not even an open secret, just a known fact , that this happens in some form or another all the time.

    Look at our great president, what good student would threaten to sue to keep their fucking grades locked up?

    Thing is, they're still rich. They didn't cheat on how they earned their money so it's not like the IRS is gonna come in and seize all their assets. Because they're still rich they'll likely get more than a slap on the wrist and maybe a fine for everything.

    The universities will likely suffer more but at the end of the day under the table agreements are never going to stop, especially at universities. If it's not money, it'll be sex. I heard several stories of girls propositioning their professors for some physical accompaniment for a bump in letter grades.
