- argd678 8y agoApparently not all were aware of how they were accepted so they may not have cheated after that. Also students who are legitimately smart cheat too, which I’ve seen first hand, mainly because they feel their time is better spent on other projects than grinding away at homework for example.

- maehwasu 8y agoI doubt their parents care enough to pay for cheating at that point. The school name is what really matters. (source: used to work in the seedy underbelly of Asian US college admissions consulting)
- defen 8y agoHow seedy is it, compared to what we know about Singer? I'm guessing no outright bribery, but what about essay "help"? Cheating on tests?
- Top5a 8y agoWhy would you chose this line of work (serious question, not a value judgment)? Did you know how amoral it was when you first applied? What caused you to leave?
- newman8r 8y agoSome students pay to have papers written for them, and others have access to test banks. It's probably not parents paying off university staff at that point though.
