Just checked out what the annual tuition for Princeton was and it's over $50k a year. Multiple by 4 years and then multiply by 2 children, that's less than 500K that Loughlin paid to get her daughters into USC.It's not second rate, it's a private school and everything but...they're acting like it's Harvard or Yale or something the way she was shelling out cash. Plus the daughter in a video said she only wants to go for the parties.
Maybe she had no way to find a coach at Princeton to bribe but had a contact at USCJust checked out what the annual tuition for Princeton was and it's over $50k a year. Multiple by 4 years and then multiply by 2 children, that's less than 500K that Loughlin paid to get her daughters into USC.
I'm not making the argument that she should have tried to get them into Princeton. Just the sheer amount of money Loughlin paid to get her children into college, which seems above Ivy League School 4 year programs.Maybe she had no way to find a coach at Princeton to bribe but had a contact at USC
Breaking news, some rich people bribe colleges to get their kids in.
I know it’s a shock, just like that expose of rich people stashing their money in offshore bank accounts.
This is kind of a big nothing burger to me. Mostly because neither of those are things most of us wouldn’t do if we had the money.
There are 40+ people implicated in this bribery scandal, but only Huffman and Loughlin are targeted in the media. What about the CEOs on that list?
The focus should be on all of the people, not just the two moms who people seem to care about? I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't give less of a **** about Lori Loughlin. I'd rather know the names of the other people.
I haven't been paying attention to this. I have seen a bunch of headlines about the celebrities...but nothing about what is going to happen legally to the schools. Wouldn't they be AT LEAST partially to blame for the crime?

Here's the thing that kinda annoys me about the outrage about this. Regardless of how wealthy these people are, and regardless of how much of a dick move they made, the reality is most parents would do whatever it takes to give their kids the best opportunities in life. They will help them with their homework and school projects, they will hire them a tutor for after hours study, they will get them involved with other educational activities outside of school. And then some people won't have that luxury. Many of the people crying foul over unfair advantage are they themselves engaged in practices in order to lift their child above others, maybe not to the degree these parents did, but they're doing it as well because that's what parents do.
Except none of those things you mentioned are crimes.
