Florida Colleges

Many times the kids never showed up - they de committed well after the acceptance but before school started. That happens with some athletes for valid reasons and clearly never raised any red flags. For those who showed up (for awhile) do you think many of their HS friends were tracking what they were doing? No. Clearly the kids would have known what they were doing was a lie so it's doubtful they'd advertise it to the world.

This was a big web of lies for everyone involved. How did the rich and famous parents find out about the 'help' agency to help their kids get into elite colleges?

Now learning about how many parents hire fancy college admissions advisors who help their kids get into the most elite college they can. Many kids have an edge because they can get early advising and have tips for the applications. Even many very educated parents who have college degrees trust that the local public schools are going to counsel their kids and their kids are smart and will be fine filling out the applications on their own.

Read an article that soccer and band won't give the student an advantage because there are too many students participating in those activities. It suggested having them publish a piece of writing or lead a charity event to show they can raise funds and manage. It is no longer enough for kids to spend every free moment in club and varisty soccer and keeping grades up because admissions doesn't consider the student unique.

Dr. Dre had both. He tweeted his daughter got in on her own to USC.
“He was allowed a few seconds to warmly chuckle to himself before the internet swiftly accessed its long memory to remind him that he, too, made a shared $70 million donation to same university. In 2013, Dre and fellow producer Jimmy Iovine gifted the university the whopping donation to form the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation. It’s neither illegal nor the most original way to potentially curry favor for a child, but it is definitely nothing akin to desperately filling out a FAFSA application on the family’s virus-riddled desktop. And while there is no official word that this donation had anything to do with his daughter’s acceptance, optics speak louder than jokes. So with that, Dre quietly removed the post”

Many times the parents are doing a lot of that work too. In fact some.moms at one of the elite prep schools in LA confessed they creste a "charity" for their kids to take credit for but the moms basically did all the work

Yeah, but what were the kids' grades and test scores? Its one thing for a qualified student to get in because they have an edge, and another thing (Jared Kushner) to get in SOLELY because someone gave the school money.

Kind of like parents editing a winning research paper or helping with the science fair project to have One more special accolade for the kid’s college application.

Kushner got mentioned and it got moved to the Political Thread. The moderator does not understand the connection between Florida soccer and Florida colleges? By the way, what D1 FL college soccer teams are winning spring games?
