What makes you so sure of that? Students aren’t under any obligation to disclose learning disorders. Why should someone else’s kid have to give up their right to privacy so you can believe your kid wasn’t cheated? The short answer is they don’t.
“…while the colleges may continue to accept bribes (donations / development)…”
This isn’t university development reps. Not even close. Nor is donating a guarantee. Youd have to take this thread way off track and replicate other threads that covered uber donors.
Some consultants do write for kids. Some on CC have publicly offered rewording.
Just saying.
Then let me reword- ethical consultants (check for membership in NACAC,HECA, IECA, etc) do not write the students’ applications.
about ASU–Lori Loughlin’s ex-husband, who is EXTREMELY successful, went to ASU. I suspect that had something to do with it. He may have had a less than stellar experience and told her about it or maybe he loved it and she loathes him so any time anyone says ASU she thinks of him. People are weird that way…
“Didn’t he move from California to Florida to avoid state income taxes? That is legal of course though!”
Phil Mickelson dodged a bullet in an insider trading case a couple years ago. Phil made $1 million in stock profits from the shady trades, which he then used to pay off a gambling debt to a buddy. The buddy got five years in federal prison.
Mickelson never was charged with a crime, but the SEC sued him over the ill-gotten gains and he paid back the money, plus interest.
Michelson claiming he hired Singer because admissions is “confusing”
- Daughter is at Brown..I guess she won the genetic lottery.
- He was smart enough to get out of this.
" At roughly the same time, Mickelson was making similarly profitable, if less-extensive, trading in Dean Foods stock. It began in July 2012, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission, when Walters called Mickelson, who had placed bets with Walters and owed him money at the time. (Phone records showed frequent calls and texts between Mickelson and Walters during this period.) Mickelson had never before invested in Dean Foods stock, but Walters urged Mickelson to start trading in it. Mickelson bought Dean Foods the next trading day in three brokerage accounts he controlled. About a week later, Dean Foods’ stock price jumped 40 percent following public announcements about the WhiteWave spinoff. Mickelson then sold his shares for more than $931,000 in profits. At the same time, he repaid his gambling debt to Walters in September 2012, apparently in part with the trading proceeds."
Yea right.
@jonri Mossimo Giannulli (Lori Loughlin’s husband) graduated from USC and most of us ladies have at one time or another probably purchased his clothing from Target.
I don’t feel ACT/SAT are without blame. They have set up this ridiculous system of testing centers and the ability to cheat. How can a 36 year old check in at a testing center as a 16 year old and no one questions it? Why have a proctor system that is so easily abused?
My daughter had an IEP when she was 3-6 years old, and her physical therapist put in that she needed extra time on tests. She’d never taken a test, but the PT said that if it wasn’t in her IEP from the earliest ages it was harder to add it later.
I have a simple solution for athletic recruits. Why not publish the names of all the recruits in each sport in a campus newspaper? A little transparency will expose all those fake recruits hidden in the darkness.

@gumbogal well said!
Internet has a picture of the Loughlin family mansion from Tuesday, which was used by the parents to post their bail bonds. Pretty nice – overlooks the Bel Air Country Club golf course.
Two flagpoles. One flies an American flag. The other is flying…you guessed it…a USC Trojans flag.
Awkward.
Their kids should transfer to Penn State, while they can go to State Pen
@sportingclaymom Mossimo Giannulli (Lori Loughlin’s husband) told his parents he was going to USC and used the tuition money they gave him to start his business. Never went.
@VickiSoCal Well, there you have it. Stand up guy from the start.
@northwesty Really? USC flag? Ooooooh X_X
@sportingclaymom As someone else has already pointed out, Lori Loughlin’s CURRENT husband went to USC but never graduated. It’s not clear whether he enrolled and dropped out or never really enrolled. Her EX husband went to ASU. (Current H is father of young women whose admission to USC is at issue.)
“If they are recruited for a sport that they either do not play, or don’t play well…wouldn’t they be confused?”
these kids were NOT recruited! Their parents paid bribery $$ to corrupt college athletic coaches to make it APPEAR- to the college ADMISSIONS office -that they WERE recruited athletes, which of course they weren’t.
@jonri Didn’t know there was a first marriage.
Is it unfair to ask the students who benefited from it to withdraw? If your parents were caught cheating to cut to the front of the line for you, wouldn’t the best course of action be to give up the seat to someone who waited properly for their turn? The best PR advice for these student/victims (if they truly didn’t know), is do the honorable thing. And I’d do it in the most public way possible to salvage my personal branding and future prospects. Say something like, “My parents made a mistake. I didn’t know about it until I read it in the news. While I love my parents, I don’t want to benefit from it at the expense of other deserving students. I’m withdrawing immediately.”
Got it #-o
