Janavs, of Newport Coast, California, is among nearly two dozen prominent parents who have admitted to participating in the scheme by paying huge sums to people willing to cheat on entrance exams for their children or pretend their kids were star athletes for sports they didn't play.
Janavs admitted to paying the consultant at the center of the scheme, Rick Singer, $100,000 to have a proctor correct hertwo daughters' ACT exam answers. She also agreed to pay $200,000 to have one of her daughters labeled as a fake beach volleyball recruit at the University of Southern California but was arrested before the girl was formally admitted, prosecutors said.
All the rich people who got caught essentially buying their kids an entrance to the "right" schools? Don't you think for a minute that this isn't a standard practice all over the country. Do you really think that the Kennedys just happen to keep getting admitted into Harvard? Do you really think they're that smart? Have you seen the latest group of Kennedys talk on TV?
And this mom is an idiot as well. Paying that much to get into USC? Have you ever been to USC? What is USC known for other than a good marching band and cheating in football? I does make me wonder what the price was to get into a school that actually matters. Stanford. William and Mary. Those types of schools. Schools that actually have a reputation for scholastic aptitude, whether it's deserved or not.
