Court filings released Tuesday paint an ugly picture of privileged parents committing crimes to get their children into selective schools. Among those charged are actresses Felicity Huffman, best known for her role on the television show “Desperate Housewives,” and Lori Loughlin, who appeared on “Full House,” according to court documents. A representative for Loughlin declined to comment. A representative for Huffman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Quote
Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes so their two daughters would be designated as recruits for the University of Southern California crew team — even though they were not part of the team. That helped the pair get into USC, according to the complaint.
Quote
Huffman is accused of paying $15,000 — disguised as a charitable donation — to the Key Worldwide Foundation so her oldest daughter could participate in the scam. A confidential informant told investigators that he advised Huffman he could arrange for a third party to correct her daughter’s answers on the SAT after she took it. She ended up scoring a 1420 — 400 points higher than she had gotten on a PSAT taken a year earlier, according to court documents.

There can be no separate college admission system for the wealthy, and I’ll add there will not be a separate criminal justice system, either.

And what is their average kid going to do once in the school? Hire someone to take classes and tests?

And why not just spend the money to go to college twice? That way you take everything over again and know the answers and its probably less than "buying them off"

The rich have always been able to pull strings to get top notch educations and careers for their average or even deficient spawn. That is one reason why stories about the "self made man" who succeeds without any advantages are so popular. I read recently this is becoming impossible. In the future nobody will be able to rise out of poverty no matter how smart or hard working they are. I guess increased population means more rich people sucking up all the resources for themselves and their brats.

For some reason, I am thinking of the other end of all this: Why are there so many (or are there so many) poor smart kids? If couples would stop having kids they can't afford, this problem would just go away, just as poverty in general would be less severe. As for high college costs, isn't the reason for such high price just pure greed on the part of the universities? Yet, parents will gladly pay more and more without objecting. Doesn't paying $2000 for a math class at college, does that seem unreasonable to anyone?

Several talk shows have made the point that for every one of these elite children who gamed the system to get in, some poor kid lost a chance for admission.
Also, on the face of it, how does someone get admitted on an athletic scholarship, then refuse to play the sport, yet remain at that university? Historically, many jocks would not have been qualified for admission for many of the universities had they not been able to play their sport. I have hard feelings about this because of what I saw at the uni I attended for one year before leaving for lack of funds. All my financial aid fell through, even loans, under the rules of the time (early 1980s). But the jocks got loads of freebies...
Odinette said, "In the future nobody will be able to rise out of poverty no matter how smart or hard working they are." I submit we're already dangerously close to that. Just look at the disparities in wealth and opportunity that already exist. Add to that the way many employers screw over even their best workers.
