What had happened in the College Admission Scandal?

According to a report by The Guardian, 50 people were charged in the case, including actors Felicity Huffman, who is known for her role on the TV show Desperate Housewives. Lori Loughlin, who is a cast member on the TV series Full House was also one of the accused in the case. These wealthy parents were a part of the biggest college admissions scam. They were accused of conspiring to get their kids into elite colleges through bribery. The FBI dubbed the case as “Operation Varsity Blues”.

What did they do exactly?

The report further reveals that administrators of the SAT and ACT college exams were bribed to allow someone else to take the exam for the children of the accused. In other cases, the proctors had given the students answers or fixed their wrong answers after they had taken the test. Some of the aspiring students also faked learning disabilities so that they would get to take the tests at facilities where staff had been paid off. FBI investigation revealed that the parents had paid between $15,000 and $75,000 a test to participate in the cheating scheme. This was all allegedly masterminded by William Singer, who ran The Key, a college prep company.
