The Admissions Scandal

@ORD_Buckeye
You know tejas was involved in this too.. their Tennis coach got busted

That's even more puzzling than USC. Their median SAT score is about 40 or 50 points lower than ours. I'm sure though the shag are all jumping up and down at being mentioned in the same breath with elite private schools.

And if these lightweights really want to see how the came is played, they should take a look at Columbus Academy. For over a hundred years, Columbus Academy named their Valedictorian purely on class rank, yet the exact same year that Wexner's oldest was a senior they decided to change this century old policy to a more "holistic methodology." Now, I'm sure that this will come as a shock to you, but under this new methodology the Valedictorian was none other than young Prince Wexner, who went onto Harvard no doubt with stellar grades, extra-curricular activities and a 35 or 36 on his ACT.

First lawsuits filed today against the universities involved. Plaintiff's argument is that the institutional failed to do their fiduciary duty to keep admissions fair.

The Yale President is shocked apparently. Never mind that probably one out of four undergraduates on that campus are legacy or development admits.

Or diversity admits

I liked the pictures of the skinny armed girls who supposedly were rowers.

If anyone is actually surprised... you need to go back to your hibernation

I have friends and associates with pedigree diplomas... and no friggin way did they get there on their own...

Meh, you might be surprised. I've got a Cornell law degree and plenty of people, including myself half the time, think that I'm an idiot.

That said, since Cornell Law School accepted me (w/o any bribes, lies, or even prep courses ...) and less "prestigious" UCLA Law School didn't, clearly due to unworthy children of the rich taking "my" spot, I should be able to sue UCLA for having to spend three years dealing with Ithaca's shitty weather.

Well, I'm all for Wexner shelling out his bribe money locally I guess ...

But diversity admits aren't buying their way in anymore than an athlete or cello prodigy is.

We'll have to subpoena your tax records... Cornell is involved in this...

Hey now. Ithaca is gorges.

Hey now. Ithaca is gorges.

Actually, it really is pretty awesome for about three months of the year. The rest of the time, not so much. I moved to Colorado as much for the clear skies as anything else.

That explains so much.
