He didn't mention what's worse... they're taking away spots for kids who actually deserve it.
I agree..
How nice it must be to be a rich brat with parents to buy your way through life instead of... you know _working and studying_
Jonathan Taylor ..TRUMP DID IT😎
eh there's spots already reserved for people like this... there's quotas for a reason
@Jonathan Taylor you fucking bitch I accidently clicked on it and it started downloading shit
You know, it honestly must be nice to be able to play through the game of life with all the cheat codes turned on.
Being evil rich is lame
Looks like they bricked their consoles .
look at Trump... :( But what annoys me most is the "anyone can do it- the others are just lazy and stupid" attitude...
@@gerald853 So it's an MMORPG? :D
If I’d gotten all that money nothing but comic books for me I mean not all rich kids are like that I mean “entitled” but still I want some balance now it’s bout breaking balls thing is there aren’t ball busters left😏.
"Honestly For that amount of💰 just Buy a Smart Kid" LOL💀😂😂.

Kung-Fu Kenny Family i.e. Asians. lol.

Or found your own public University. I mean, the rich people have the funds for it
Save time...buy them a degree.
The rich college kids at the fancy colleges making the poor kid that got in on scholarship feel like crap... ...when the poor kid's the one that actually deserves to be there.
Can these students sue the parents for ruining their rights to an education?
Just children using their parents just like DACA using their parents... The real immigrants ( aka LEGAL) APPLIED TO THE US and were accepted. They didn't get in through a side door( southern border) . How can liberals not see the similarities in this? Apparently liberals are much more stupid than we think.
Can these rich kids keep up with the work load required? Or are mom and dad going to pay someone to do the hard work? Can you imagine how shiTTy these rich kids will feel?
@@wonAWAY You would have to prove that their education was ruined and impacted by the parents or the kids. It's kind of a stretch. I totally understand the sentiment but it would be hard to make the case. It's probably up there on level of difficulty for pressing a malpractice claim against a doctor. Suing a doctor even with legitimate documentation is incredibly hard.
@ no
I know this is tragedy as light humor. And i love that. However.....this makes my stomach hurt. As a parent of a college kid. I busted my ASS getting her through Grammar, Middle and HS. Shes been on the Honor Roll every marking period since 2nd grade. My husband and I both work 2 jobs.
Applying for scholarships and fasfa was an additional full time job. She was accepted to all 6 colleges she applied to. Went to her top choice.
After her first year, we could no longer afford the tuition and dorm room. She is now back home in a community college waiting to transfer to an undergrad school closer to home.
Like Trevor said: every parent wants the BEST for their kids.
Ppl like me and so many others, actually RAISE their kids to be the best. While these low life parents LAUGH at their decption and lies.
Creating a whole new generation of incompetent, inhumane, lairs and cheats. This really makes me nauseous. 😞😒 that my kid has to share a planet with those kids, who are completely unworthy.💯
100% agree.
Please look into the smaller liberal arts college (Hamilton College in NY and Carlton College in MN are two we know of). Both my kids were in scholar/honors programs and depending on the degree they do have great scholarships. One kid is a graduating writing major with a minimal 12k loan. Our big state college is excellent and they both got full scholarships there however, they did not offer their majors.
You know jamarla I agree with you on that never had a mom work two jobs or anything like that I’m what some schools back in the day called “troubled” anyway thing is I’d graduated from high school no direction no motivation no elevation into the next step I just went out look for work got some temp jobs nothing new til I realized that everyone needed a degree to find a career that woke me up. 😔now after going to community college but dropped out I realized that these days (plus watching that on the news🤨) it’s so damn hard to find your place in this world sure it gets embarrassing when you find out your rich parents doesn’t have any faith on your being and lack of due to disorganized methods on handling choices on college goes to show that some people are always don’t except reality cause it always hit you when you least expected.

Oh my god this was tooo funny. Smart thinkin whoever you are
500,000 for both kids... not even worth a million together.
That was clever
These are the same rich parents that get mad about Affirmative Action and diversity quotas
I hear them all the time with their bullshit racism.
@SKG It's not that AA treats Asians bad. it's these elite colleges. They only want rich white people in. Asians can fool themselves into thinking they are white, but they aren't Anglo Saxon white lol. AA was made to help give black people the chance to attend these schools, because the system kept them impoverished and socially unacceptable to these schools. So if a school has to fill a quota they will fill it with black people to keep up with diversity requirements, and dismiss the talented asian for C+ Brad. Black people stay telling Asians they will never see Asians as one of them, so long as it's look out for white people first. Lol
@SKG first of all, whites run everything so their own kind receiving preferential treatment shouldn't come as a surprise. Secondly, im sure there are other factors that contribute to AA other than race, like socioeconomic standing, gender, etc. Statistically, White women benefit the most ftom AA. *Generally* East Asians are exceptionally well off and thus have access to a lot of preparatory programs Black and Brown students probably wouldn't; getting a 4.0+ with money and resources at your disposal doesn't look as good as doing the same in environments that aren't the most conducive to academic success. That's why Asians get "shafted" so hard. They're aren't White but they typically don't have to struggle as much as the other groups.
@@stephenheath8465 Its one thing to say that's how things are. Pretending that things can't change is ludicrous. Black people would still be sitting in the back of the bus with idiotic statements like that. Scandals like this can't be brushed off. These people need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. To deter others from doing/continuing the same actions. Further investigations must continue into these schools to see how deep this issue affected the admissions system, and other schools must face further oversight to prevent this. Only with action will these things change. Accepting them as this is how things are is not acceptable.
@@stephenheath8465 Where did you draw that conclusion? My statements made it very clear that biases do exist, and the system as it currently is isn't fair. That is no excuse to let it continue. That is no excuse to be resigned to letting the wealthy rig everything in their favor. The wealthy can't do shit if everyone else decides to throw away the old system and make a new one. Money is only as powerful as people make it to be.
Rich people in a room laughing about how they can scam normal American way of life.... That's who's in the White House 😥
Only In America SMH
Rich white people!!! Its a white crime! I would bet 1000 Dollar that each and everyone is white! 😂 Only white people have the right "i deserve better than everyone else" mindset😅
Minds thinking alike. No wonder he got elected. Look who supported him at the big cities.
@@rephan5824 everywhere
Hint: its ain't only happening in the white house.
These people don't deserve to be rich. NOT because they were greedy and deceitful, but because they don't know how to spend $6.5 million.
You have that much money and your kid literally doesn't need to go to college unless they want to (in which case they will work hard enough to earn their spot).
Hire a tutor.
Teach them how to be an entrepreneur/investor.
Let that college spot go to somebody who needs a college degree.
Wesley McDowell they don’t treat university like education, they treat it like another way to show off status.
People associate university with being educated, how many people successful people do you know that didn't go to college VS those that did go to college.
@@dibbidydoo4318 I understand WHY they send their kids to college; my point was that I thought their reasoning was stupid. And I don't know, personally, any people who are successful without a college degree. I also don't know anybody with $6.5 Million to spend 😂
You don't understand, Wesly, in the USA the sentence "I've been to an elite college" itself grants access to top jobs they wouldnt get if they had been merely to a normal community college. And even more importantly, it's about connections: Meeting the children of other superrich powerful families, and their parents, and gaining access to that network, one that children from poorer families who got into college on a sponsorship will still never be able to access because they will never get invited to those parties and events.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog oh my goodness. You can understand something AND have a negative opinion about it.
In the USA, we understand that jaywalking is illegal, but we think it's stupid and usually don't obey that law.
I fully comprehend the various reasons WHY these people wanted their kids to attend these elite universities, AND I think those reasons are dumb because their amount of wealth enables them to do things independent of status.
For example, imagine Bob has no status and no money and wants to be an author. Bob works his way into an elite college, joins a fraternity, socializes with the right alumni, graduates with honors, and uses his degree and new status to join the best publishing firm in the whole country.
Joe, is the son of a famous actress who has 6 million dollars just sitting around that she doesn't need. He also wants to be an author, so he writes a book and then asks his mom to give him a million bucks for him to market it.
If you disagree with me, that's fine 😊. But don't say I don't understand 😬
If my mom had 500k to bribe a school, I could've just used that money for tuition to go to my first choice school. In which I actually got accepted but had to decline due to price.
I think these parents were more worried that their kids wouldn’t get accepted at all. Since they’re not too bright.
@@krist-yonnarain7786 I know that. I'm pointing out their further privilege.
@@krist-yonnarain7786 No, for most it was about the caliber of school their child got excepted into. Aunt Becky's daughters got into ASU but she didn't think the school was good enough
I can’t even afford to bribe the local Junior College.
😂😂😂
The local junior college would be harder to bribe
Junior college professors can't afford to go back to prison. (I joke)
Junior college professors get paid more, so they wouldn’t need the bribe.
@@love-hammer Is good yoke!
Trump donated 1.5 million dollars to the University of Pennsylvania the same school Jr went to. Something tells me that isn’t a coincidence.
Or he actually donated but threatened to stop donating
Derek Raymond nah. thats too random of a school in too random of a place (whether know by a lot people of not) to donate 1.5 million (according to what they said^^) if he didn’t even go there or was an alum.

xavierrobinson55 exactly
Facts
Ohhh man that explains why those fratcollege kids always party before an exam while I was studying my assoff
They could also require them to donate the exact same amount they paid to get their kids into college and invested into a scholarship fund for low income students
I feel like that makes too much sense. Even though it won’t happen, it would be a beautiful thing to see.
Also help people struggling to pay off student loans
Pff. Theyd figure out how to pay the least amount. And then figure out how to get that scholarship to a distant cousin.
I thought I heard that all the money these people "donated" was going to be used exactly like that for scholarships. It might have been in a buzzfeed article
@@kbwaterbug29 which is so stupid. They're crooks and will figure out another loophole. Money wins.
Did anyone else automatically think of Jared Kushner when this story broke?
Why?
Because his dad also "donated" money to the school his son attended. @@zuley2155
FluffyPinkChaos. The teachers at his high school could not believe he got into Harvard and his father gave them 2.5 million dollars.
Lol I was thinking the same and Ivanka😁
No, it was Trump that came to mind. It became crystal clear how he got into an ivy league school, but managed to come out dumber.
Laughlin’s own daughter doesn’t even sound like she wanted to go to college
RIGHT?!? And they paid 500K to get both her and her sister into college, and she didn't even want to be there.
lol yah she wanted to focus on youtube
she just wanted the “college experience”, only the partying and having fun part though
@@debbiedoodiedandi Fact she didn't even want to go at the cost of 500K is the kick in the balls for people like me. I can't afford that shit and I'll be damned if I'm gonna end up to my tits in student loan debt. What a fucking ungrateful cunt she is. She gets a free collage ride to higher her education but all she wants is to party!? Fuck that bitch man. Spoiled brat.
I heard about that talk about entitlement. I worked hard in college even thought about quitting it was hard. I went to an ok school but it wasn't easy.
trevor is right none of these people will see jail time, the rules dont apply to them
Jorge duarte the American dream is a scam
Yeah. My dad said that they will get jail time. I told him "I'd be shocked if they did."
Jorge duarte s. If the media follows it, they will .
Anne Rodgers you mean like those 4 years they gave manafort when the state minimal was 20years for the crimes he commited?
I'm really surprised how surprised everyone seems to be. I've assumed since I was in high school that Ivy League admissions was inherently biased by money for a significant number of students. Domestic and Foreign super rich get their kids into them all the time, and have been doing so for... decades I assume. I wasn't some kind of genius seer. Once I realized what an Ivy School was, an engine of producing Status as much as education and diplomas. People will pay millions and million and millions for that.
Am I really in the minority for assuming this was they way it was, and society just turned a blind eye as it does about so many things. I thought most people knew. HOW IS THIS SOOO SURPRISING!
DarkStar - I only thought bribing was more obvious a parents eould just pay for new school buildings or some olympic swimmingpool as a donation and their kids got to be honor students while being dumb as a rock.
They knew they think some of us as dumb as this children are.
I wasn't surprised at all... maybe because I used to live overseas in Italy were a "scandal" like this would only make the morning news. And I'm not exaggerating.
Its surprising because *they got caught!*
Exactly. A bunch of people in politics, education, and media going "Oh, oh wow,.. How could they... who could have known? We have to tell everyone who doesn't know already!"
Well, if you were wondering why you never got into the school of your dreams despite having all the qualifications, now you know.
They should make those parents pay for the tuition of all kids that go to college in their state.
@@ishikawa1338 Well you understand my point. I should have suggested they pay for many of the kids tuitions that go to the college or pay for the local schools supplies and whatever needs fixing for the next 18 years. By the way you can call me that name all you want, but I am not one who lied to the IRS, tried to get my kid into a school because I have millions of dollars to spend on my kid to get into university through cheating and lying. Even if I had money to spend on my kid, I would pay for their tuition through a 5-9 plan and help them get through basic education while pushing them to do extra curriculars, volunteer, and work towards getting an honest ACT/SAT score.
I agree... They already proved to have millions. So why not
Or at least the tuition of those who's entrance got rejected in order to get those wealthy kids in.
Not for a second do I believe that most of these kids didn't know about any of the shenanigans.
I'd say out of the 50+, maybe 6 didn't know. The rest were IN on it.
I went to school with kids like this. These kids sometimes are so dumb they don’t even realize they are going to college till last minute.

Actually some did and some really didn’t know, some parents paid extra to keep their kids from the truth of how they got in, there were a few who even complained that they were getting emails from the coaches to come for practice and would say ‘no I’ve never ran track’ and the parents would panic calling the woman who they bribed asking why their kids are still getting emails? it’s an intriguing read, CW-1 (Cooperating Witness 1) sold them all down the river!

if their credentials are for being an athlete they knew, and also if you take the exams and you dont know the answers, you'll have an idea that someone fixed it if you passed, otherwise you really have no idea or a brain to go to college
jcspider I say say for certain that the child of huffman wasn’t in on it. As for the other parents who were putting their kids into athletic spots that’s a different story. You can’t go through all of the processes of the tryouts and games and not know if you deserve it or not.

It just goes to show the Hallmark Channel is the entertainment arm of the Republican Party.
I'm more concerned about the colleges involved. Were the various administrations aware of this conduct? I find it hard to believe they have children of celebrities enrolled based on athletic scholarships but were never seen performing. The parents definitely deserve to have the book thrown at them, but I truly think the colleges involved should receive the same degree of scrutiny, if not more.
I have a lot of questions to. Why did no school notice that these "athletes" never did anything? Why did no kid notice the photoshoped pictures or that they are considered to be athletes while they were not? It would not be surprised if everyone is deeper involved.
I heard that after the kids get admitted they don't have to go to practices because the coaches will cover up for them, or they will have some excuse like they suddenly have a medical condition that no longer allows them to "further participate“ in such sport activities.

Actually it was officials within the school, some lady who was head of admissions (she’s been fired) as for the kids, some knew and some really didn’t know, some parents paid extra to keep their kids from the truth of how they got in, there were a few who even complained that they were getting emails from the coaches to come for practice and would say ‘no I’ve never ran track’ and the parents would panic calling the woman who they bribed asking why their kids are still getting emails? it’s an intriguing read, CW-1 (Cooperating Witness 1) sold them all down the river!

Not buying that the kids didn't know.
They've seen their own report cards too
Me neither. They should know that the grades they got don't allow them to get in a Ivy league college!!
Nope. Maybe when they were younger and in boarding school. But not college entrance exams. Lol.
I'd say maybe 5 or 6 had no clue. The rest were definitely in on it.
Cheating on ACT or SAT is possible w.o. their knowledge you don't get your test back just the score, if they had a 2.5 average and an amazing SAT or ACT score they could get into a decent University..parents are dumb though send your kid to community college and University after they graduate with an associate's degree it's dumb to send kids that don't even want to attend college to a university
Spit out my drink regarding, "buy a smarter kid". If they are spending that much to just get their kid into college, then they clearly have too much money. Might I suggest an offer to pay off my school loans?
For that much money they could just give it to their kids .. And they wouldn't have to work. Just buy a house and live off the money that was supposed to be for college... I mean they must have really got caught up in wanting their kids to go because rationally that doesn't make sense. Especially the one that goes all the way up to six million dollars! That's more than most of us make in our lifetimes! Like if you gave your kid half of that they would still be able to live nicely without the college and without a job!
I came from a working class family. I worked my ass off every day to get perfect grades in high school. I got onto the board of 3 different clubs. I took the SAT 3 times to get the score I wanted. And here I am, going into my last year as a full Honors student at the University of California, Irvine, with 2 jobs, 2 internships, and conducting my own research, and I hear that these parents are laughing about committing fraud to take opportunities away from students like me, who spent countless hours studying to get the grades they wanted. Y'all gonna have to hold me back, because some rich white people are gonna die.
If you have money, you can honestly do anything 🤷🏾♀️, not surprised. This has been happening forever.
I can't even afford saying the word bribe
At least you can afford to type it.
Lol that we can afford typing...I'm still paying Student loans.
So poor i dn't bribe I brib. Cuz cnt affrd tht mny lttrs.
I can't even aff
Does this really truly surprise anyone?
I think in the back of everyone’s mind we knew rich people were paying their way in
Yep
Pretty sure if there wasn't various actors and entertainers involved no one would bother reporting.
but now its the IRS who has proof, they dont care as long as they get their cut.
I personally know a rich family whose daughter is getting financial aid...they pull all these same dirty tricks like lying to the IRS by writing off everything they buy as a business expense. I've wanted to report their asses a thousand times but my mom works for them so they'd wonder who was it who leaked the info.
StarlitLilies rich people know how to legally cheat the system. Everything’s a damn business write off.
These same people got huge tax cuts from you know who. Partners in crime.

Money can buy happiness if you don't get caught.
Diego Kiwi
I don’t know who started that lie. “money can buy you happiness.” I have heard if you tell a lie for a very long time, people will begin to believe the lie, live the lie, and repeat the lie.
Happiness has always been internal and an illusion has always been external. There is a big difference between happiness and an illusion. Happiness is obeying God’s law; therefore, it can never be brought nor can it be sold. An illusion is a false or misleading impression of reality and can only be purchased with money.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

The kids should be forced to live the college since they don’t get inside by merit.
This sting does not solve the other scams...😤 As long legacies and elitist donations are "legal". The system is still stacked in favor of the rich.
At least the donations to the school help all students.
@@seunosewa I know its "legal". But Still closes a spot for an intelligent deserving student to get into there university of there choice. And gets an undeserving student who did not earn it into a school. THATS FUCKING BOGUS...
The sad thing about this whole scandal is that buying their kids' way into certain colleges is just a status symbol and bragging rights for the rich parents. To them it's comparable to buying a luxury apartment or a Hermes handbag. If their kids aren't smart enough to get into the school on their own merit, it means they probably don't have the ability to keep up with the difficulty and pace of the classes in those schools to really learn. So in the end, going to college isn't about education, it's just treated as another commodity.
That's how trump ended up in the school and been the dumbest student according to one professor 😂
🤣😂😃🤣😂
If Wharton had not taken the "donation" then Trump would have had to go to trade school and we wouldn't have ended up in this mess.
😂😂😂
What does it say about the biases in admissions in these 'selective" institutions? What about the students who get in b/c dad donated a library, a science building or some other monetary donation that is buying the spot directly from the elite University or College? Let this also be a lesson for employers who select students from these elite institutions thinking they are the brightest. What about all the help they get once in the institution? What about those inflated GPA's? The best student is the one who usually has to pay for college, can't afford the Ivy or Liberal Arts 50K a year institution, and instead goes to a state university, even may be starts in a community college first in order to reach their academic or professional dreams. We have misplaced our values in these "elite network societies" that are telling who does and from where a student is good enough. Like mom said: "the best prepared students and employers are the ones who have to go through state schools where everything is there, but you have to figure it out, and then work your butt off for a grade that most likely will be a lot lower than if you went to one of these schools. My mom retired from one of these highly ranked institutions and this is her humble opinion.

Wish I would have thought of this while in community college
Lazy bastards just didn't want to do the work❗ Kids need to be punished too, expelled, all credits and credentials revoked❗👎
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋without question😎😷
Would be hilarious to watch the coaches play with only the fake athletes they'd recruited. We all know no coach likes to lose.
This just pisses me off. As an international student who has to push for the little scholarships offered to international students it's so annoying hearing about those who think they can live their lives cheating through everything at the disadvantage of others ugh
How is this any more illegal than tge leagcy system. Where parents donating a large sums of money to the college to get their kid in to the school?
Casual WEEB Because it’s deceptive and conspiracy to deceive rather than simply publicly buying the “integrity” of a Harvard or a Stanford. “They’re called owners because they OWN you.” said George Carlin, and he was right.
Because in this case they're lying to the colleges for personal gain. That's the definition of fraud. The Legacy system is the parents and school openly working together, so there's no deception involved.
this is just the entire plot of the korean drama SKY Castle lmao
These people are going to prison for 30 days tops.
More like 30 minutes to gloat to inmates doing life sentences for traffic violations...
Awesome puppy picture what type of dog is it??
Reconiciliono Nope no jail time. Huge fines and lengthy probation is all they will get. Meanwhile some black person will get 20 years for jaywalking
@@v60polestar88 Currently cracking down on EXACTLY THAT here in Detroit.
"....Scamming these schools..." Trevor? Really?. As if something like this can go through without the administrative dept's knowledge or approval. Do NOT try to speak in favor of the colleges.
seems like a scam Frank Gallagher would do 😂
😂😂😂
Frank Gallagher is a hustler asshole. Not an evil prick.
@MsUsagi513 you're talking about a character that is a drunk and unable. William Macy and all of these other parents used money to cheat, steal, and ruin other students futures. One is funny and one is fucked.
@@wonAWAY but, which William Macy? Fred Gallagher, or the WHM married to Felicity? Another instance of life imitating art. He *DID* scheme to get his son into school also as Frank Gallagher.
@@jcobbs4523 idk. Figure it out. Are you really going to argue for a fictional character being like a real life douche?
💰Donald Trump's father did the same thing
Donald did the same thing for his kids and now friends. That’s who a lot of these “best people” are. Or, in the case of Betsy Devos, they got in by donating money
the Clinton kid and Obama kid "deserved" their admissions to elitist schools...said no one ever!
@J GChelsea Clinton got aid about 600,000 dollars to interview the GEICO lizard. she earned every penny. you can not make this crap up.
and you got to be joking to say she did not grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth. she grew up flying around the world on airforce 1, and everything she got is because of her parents (payoffs and winks) please tell me you think she actually is not a spoiled brat.
J G it’s worse being a native Michigander from Grand Rapids. It’s a great city but we’ve got stains like her and Floyd mayweather lol
As a high school junior, i am really frustrated
Think of going to Europe for college. Most propose courses in English, the level is same and even higher than the US ones and it will be cheaper + you’ll travel and get to enjoy other cultures.
Briandre Don’t be, they are gonna be exposed someday in life. But nobody would ignore your hard work.
rich kids? I’m not surprised
@2:22 yet there's some African-American *mothers* that went to jail for simply using a zip-code of a family member (that lived in a better area w/a better school district...)or a close friend, so that their child could attend school in that zone. ...Why ? *They too* simply want the best for their children.
Who had/has sympathy for them??
The best for your kids is learning the value of hard work and sacrifice.
Eric and Don Jr are a perfect example of this crime.
how about the Clinton and Obama kids going to super elitist universities?? they deserved it right? do tell!
legacy students.
@@supernerd7093 also probably. They all do.
🍕I'm like a smart person I know the biggest words believe me I'm a very stable genius
Oh Donald...
Tf is your username 😭😭
@@youngsavag666 NATIVE LATINOS Fook TRUMP's username doesn't matter. He could fook Trump in 5th Avenue and he wouldn't lose any upvotes.
😁😁😁
@@thomassaldana2465 good one :)
Money can't make a Dumb student into a Smart one.
Look at the example of Trump
LibHunk Nice joke. True. My maid in India who just studied 6th grade can run her family far better than Trump running the country. And she has a vast vocab than Trump for sure.
But it can make even the dumbest student a president.
Look at the example of Trump
Ya trump is so dumb he was able to start a school and scam people just like the rest of colleges do to these gulliable college kids
No but they can buys doors that otherwise would never be there for them in the first place. Look at Trump our President... 😑
Yet they still own businesses and get to be president ☺
Trevor I think your idea for their punishment is perfect! I'd watch every game of the season!
Just cant get enough of Trevor's jokes.. lol
Thats how you keep the rich richer folks.
@Mike Babbich only those who were caught.
@Mike Babbich Sorry mr, I never said anyone is holding me back, I have been given opportunity in my country and I used it. we are just surprised it happened in the USA maybe you don't understand how people perceive your country. We look at it as this amazing country where everything is fair and possible, land of opportunities. Its still is, but I don't know if It is academically.
Why is this a suprise? Seriously how many movies joke about this? Ever seen Accepted? "No room at Yale for Rory, too many rich white kids with rich parents..."
It's funny for just about the same reason it's infuriating... funny because it's what ALL poor people (especially black) always thought, infuriating because it turns out to be true...
This is business as usual it's just that these individuals got caught smh 🙄
The worst thing is that a lot of these kids that got in from bribes didn't even care, it's just about the Ivy title for them. And kids who worked their asses off for years didn't stand a chance when their spots were taken.
Who else noticed the collage humor font.
Quinn Haywood I did! If I’m not mistaken I’m pretty sure dan gurewitch from the old college-humor staff works at the daily show.
@@TheKennyMcormick Dan is on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, I think Owen Parsons is still on the Daily Show
Collage? Or...college?
Hannibal Haenz I looked it up and it looks like dan and owen are now both working at last week tonight which is pretty cool cuz they were always my favorites from CH.
Quinn Haywood they’re great with getting celebrities guest on there videos
This has been going on for Years,It brings new meaning to I am paying for your Education by any means necessary!
Oh this is a wonderful way to find out that you’re parents think you are as intelligent as a broken toaster!! This also explains why many students come out of college just as ignorant as when they entered. Well, my momma always said, “college applications are like a box of chocolate 🍫, you never which one has the razor blade in it.” Lmfao
I actually laughed at "...doesn't have a football team.". Honestly, who cares.
Ever since George W. Bush I just knew there was something fishy in te American "education" system. I mean he went to Harvard Business School (1975), Davenport College (1968), The Kinkaid School, Phillips Academy, Yale University but just listen to that guy.
We knew something was not right, we just didn't know how they did it
You think the Kennedy's were rocket scientists?
I love the way people keep going on about "the kids who actually deserve it " . I don't think anyone ever got anything because they were truly deserving , we just wanted to believe that was the case.
Shoutout to the edited College Humor logo. :)
Their names are all down for CH's very own Quendelton State University.
"Honestly, for that kind of money, just buy a smarter kid."
Uh, isn't that what got them in hot water to begin with? ^^""
In all technicalities...
Ah remember when we use to stay up all night, study, trying our best to pass ACT, SAT ah good time good time
Teach: brad, brad, the answer is A,A,A!!
Brad: oh boyyyyy, oh boyyy
Guess I can be even more proud of the degrees I’ve earned. My dad a hospital janitor and gardener and my mom a house cleaner rarely could help me with homework. No hand holding during applications. No college visits. I had one shot at taking the SATs there wasn’t money for multiple tries. Despite all this I got in to UC Berkeley with a financial aid offer of tuition covered. I also got another scholarship that helped cover books. I worked part time to cover any other expenses. So forgive me if I don’t shed a tear for these privileged families. My parents did want something better for me. That’s why they came over. But just like they worked for every dollar earned. They expected me to work for everything I got. I will forever be thankful that they always believed in me.
Because of the thumbnail I thought the channel College Humor was responsible for this lol
This would be a perfect time for them to sue for the misrepresentation
These kids had no clue what was going on? They were so stupid they thought they played water polo? Past, current, and future leaders....
Pay to win irl😂😂😂😂
All super wealthy kids who are hot shots in college should get weary right now, there is a chance that your parents also did this and just haven’t gotten caught yet. And they’ll definitely never admit it to you now either, they wouldn’t risk telling you the truth and you getting mad and running to the cops. You’re all just going to have to spend the rest of college and/or your life wondering if they paid for you too...
Nope.
Bottom line, my fellow "poor" Americans.....there's something, to being White & wealthy, but, for the rest of us, 😔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊
I love Trevor but I call bs on the kids not knowing. Some of these kids had someone take their SATs for them. How in the world do you think you get into a university without ever having to take the SATs? And you think they didn’t know? Either they’re batshit clueless or they knew.
Warsan Artan if you read the document some parens went out of their way to hide it from the kids. No one had the SAT’s taken for them. They took the SAT and the parents had the invigilator change their answers after the kids leave. Kid genuinely believes they got the score they received on their own. What I don’t believe is that the kids who got in on fake athletic abilities did not know. If you get early admission because of you arbility in a sport you never played you must know that is b.s. Lori’s daughter was copied in emails so she definitely knew. But other parent’s tapped phone calls showed long conversations about hiding it from the kid.
And the rowing pictures?
"Uhh dad, i did it again..." im dying man! but yeah true, no one who paid going to jail, maybe the guys taking the money though
I don't believe this kids didn't know about it. At all

Actually some did and some really didn’t know, some parents paid extra to keep their kids from the truth of how they got in, there were a few who even complained that they were getting emails from the coaches to come for practice and would say ‘no I’ve never ran track’ and the parents would panic calling the woman who they bribed asking why their kids are still getting emails? it’s an intriguing read, CW-1 (Cooperating Witness 1) sold them all down the river! Can’t wait for the movie 🍿 🎥
Remember those moments on the original Full house where Aunt Becky talked to the girls about doing the right thing? Someone needs to make a meme now of her saying the same thing except it's ok to cheat and lie to get your kids into the school of their choice without hard work
Oof
Love it....for that amount of money, just buy a smarter kid....brilliant!!!!😂😀
4:15 It’s more so like successfully robbing a bank, then taking a hostage for no reason.
How did the kids not know? Sympathy for them? How does one not know someone else took the SATs on his or her behalf?
“Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son...”
Another brilliant argument against inherited wealth.
“This is such a shitty way to find out that your parents think you’re a dumbass” LOL 😂
the sad thing is that they keep their cheat codes turned on even after they've taken admission. Because they're incompetent, they hire tutors to write essays for them, do their homework, help them pass exams which they party for most of the college years.
