It was recently found out that several people took part in a massive college admissions scam that involved either cheating on standardized tests or bribing college coaches and school officials to accept students as college athletes, even if they had never played a sport. All of these people are very wealthy parents who used their wealth to pay a lot of money to ensure their kids got into a top college. Among these parents facing federal charges are actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Many parents paid between $15,000 and $75,000 for someone to assist them in cheating on the SAT or ACT. Loughlin and her husband allegedly paid bribes totaling $500,000 to have their two daughters accepted to USC as a part of the crew team.
College scams have been happening for a very long time but this is by far one of the biggest and outrageous ones in American history. It's unfair that these priveleged families are using their wealth to unjustly put their kids in school when kids that have actually put in the work to get there either aren't accepted because there are no more spots or can't afford it.
