Look, it’s not the biggest problem in the world but I would not have gotten into Dartmouth without Mo’nique.

Proud to say I got into Northwestern without the help of my mother, Laura Linney.

Imagine working at the FBI and everyone around you is uncovering crimes by the President, and you get assigned to wiretap Aunt Becky for trying to get her dumb kid into college

2019 is about us witnessing how privileged, unethical people get themselves out of more jail time and their children into elite universities.

Now that the Hollywood Bribery Ring has been busted, the only thing helping rich kids get into college are legacy admissions, private tutors, board member connections, unpaid summer internships, interview coaches, and a lifetime of Ivy-bound grooming!!!

Banner day for everyone's co-worker who treats going to an Ivy League school as a personality trait

If you have $500,000 to blow on your two kids who aren't going to get into college, have some respect and invest it in a doomed recording career that will yield one terrible single the rest of us can make fun of forever.

Hey, @CNN -- parents from dozens of professions including banking, business, investment, etc. were involved in this college scandal. Why do you have the two from the entertainment industry on the screen right now?

I went to NYU for 1 yr w/ a very small scholarship ($1500 per semester) and my dad paid the rest. I was shocked at all the rich kids whose parents “made them” go to college. Seriously- let someone who wants to learn go in your shitty kid’s place.

We should be dunking way more on the lawyers that cheated to get their kids into college than the SAG members. #operationvarsityblues https://t.co/ewy9x0W2ZE

The part of the college fraud thing that's most disturbing to me was paying someone else take to take SATs for their kid .. What does this message send? You are too stupid to get a high SAT score? Ugly

Seems like a rather high price to pay just to get into a safety school - am I right, fellow Harvard alums working in the entertainment industry?

Parents cheated to get their kids into Ivy League colleges. This was part of a larger scam known as Ivy League colleges.

How about this @DonaldJTrumpJr, You release your high school and college transcripts and SAT scores to prove you got into Wharton on merit and I'll do the same for my Harvard acceptance.
You game? https://t.co/ilc48ahYry

Most Common FAQ
Short version - Huffman was indicted because most comms for older daughter were between Cooperating Witness (CW) and Huffman. Although Macy knew, proving any actions (versus conversation or merely awareness) as conspiratorial to the point of an indictment would be a legal stretch. The conversations and meetings that occurred between CW and Huffman with Macy present were for the younger daughter. But the parents never proceeded on that action.
