SeachRE,
ANYONE surprised Trump paid someone to take his SATs?
When I was in high school, I read about this one kid, a year older than I was, who hired someone to take the SATs for him. This kid already owned several companies and was previously interviewed by the Washington Post as an up-n-coming young prodigy. He specifically mentioned that his dream school is Wharton.

When he got caught cheating, the College Board offered one of two outs. Either he could take the test again himself, or his scores would be published with an "asterisk." The kid instead tried to sue the College Board, but that turned out to be a dumb move because then he himself got prosecuted and convicted of fraud. I think he even had to spend some time in jail.

Needless to say, he didn't get into Wharton.

Why am I telling this story? Because of the parallels between this kid and Donald Trump. Up-n-coming businessman, comes from a life of privilege, aspiring Wharton student, and all the hubris that comes along with it.

I guess that's my long-winded way of answering your question with a no.
