Probably always will be.

I guess it's acceptable now. A slap on the wrist will be their punishment.

These frauds need to be made an example of. But, in the end, a slap on the wrist is what they’ll most likely receive. Meanwhile some poor black kid will get decades, not years, for cannabis possession. It’s all fucked! 😡 Hey you frauds! 🖕🏻

or was it those excellent grades and SAT scores he’s so excited to show off?

We are open access!!

kids were totally against this disgusting scheme, but lacked the power and courage to tell their parents to fuck right off.

Shame on the parents - your children will still be cleaning up their wrecked and ruined psyches for years to come.

Finding out that the good test scores or the college admission you were proud of getting wasn’t something to be proud of, but rather something to be ashamed of, would really be horrible.

torture for them

Whole families are being blown apart today - I’m so sorry for the kids, this puts some of them in a really dangerous mental state...I hope they can survive this mutilation of the trust they had in their parents

The ones who knew? Should have known better by 17 or 18. But those who didn’t even know? Wow.

Athletic admission for sports they didn't play? Having someone else take the SAT for them?

Participants need to be expelled and the parents arrested

they took the SAT and then the SAT from was corrected by the 'proctor' before being sent off. This is like what happened in Atlanta with high school tests those kids didn't know.

To “fix” the test to get a particular score, and then turned in.

And thinking your parents thought they had to cheat to get you in!

Which I read -- it is bonkers. Most of these kids are also victims of their parents.

that provides an income for life, and then the kid can do whatever he or she pleases. No, this was about bragging rights, I think.

And they won't have loans when they get out. They can afford to go to any college that would admit them and they could still do what they want when they get out!

… Tiffany Trump is at Georgetown. I wonder if it cost a lot of if she earned it?

So when do the Trumps get arrested for their multitudes of crimes including cheating and accepting bribes?

I pegged her for an honest person, a fighter. What vanity and shallowness to commit this fraud just for a better school.

I think she played a sports show executive, and plays a woman who can make it in a man's world, like I said a fighter. I just think someone who is a fighter does not stoop to using money to buy accomplishments. They use their strength. Then she is married to this quirky, unattractive, short man, (who I happen to like a lot as an actor), but I thought her marrying him, must have been some kind of true love. And I attribute true love, to someone who is not trying to use someone else, but loves them for themselves. I also read William Macy, her husband as honest, just comes across that way to me, and seeing him on interviews.

The other actress Lori Loughlin strikes me as very smart, but I can easily see her as just using her looks to get what she wants. She strikes me as vain. But also smart, so I would think she would have passed on that smartness to her daughter, but maybe not.

not on this scale.

I attended a private independent women's college. A good portion of the school was made up of debutantes from private schools. They were at the college to wait to get engaged. Some of them were smart and then some weren't. My guess if some of their parents had wanted them to be enrolled, they made donations directly to the college, not to some individuals who would fix their SAT scores or something like that.

Hint: it wasn’t playing by the rules...

like trump who have no smarts or talents

Heck, when I took SATs in the 60s there was a brilliant kid that I knew who would take SATs or LSATs for other students for a fee. He'd guarantee high scores or he wouldn't get paid. I don't know what he charged or exactly how he got away with it, but he turned out to be a very successful surgeon and it seemed to me to be a tremendous risk he was taking. My guess is that it was much more commonplace than we imagined.
