we actually know such cases where parents shell out mega bucks to get their kids into the top-tier schools and in one instance, the case of William “Rick” Singer en.wikipedia.org , the folks in Coconut's high school know the American student whose father paid megabucks to get daughter into USC en.wikipedia.org likely that Aziz did not have to spend the 1 year and 1 day jail term had he simply left matters be, as all HKIS graduating class get into some sort of university as in 100% scoring rate It is interesting that even amongst the kids and parents of kids who enrolled in the universities, a two tier demarcation is apparent, for those whose kids got enrolled on own merit and are invited to join one massive(1000+) parental WeChat grouping (managed by the same industrious lady) and those likely got in by donation are deliberately left out. The group is named HYSM acronym for, yeah, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT The grouping is currently deliberating whether to include the lesser schools such be Princeton, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, ... Caltech :0))) The lesser schools shall likely be included. The group serves to arrange joint flights, shared vacations, homes-away-from-homes, etc etc networking for the kids, and sure, includes parents who are seriously rich and / or fabulously famous. However, parents of kids who likely got in by donations (meaning the kids test scores and extracurricular does not stack up) need not apply. As to how such determination is made, is of course by black-balling of more than one parents set whose kid(s) attended the same school as the kid in question. Also, bad news (suicides, murders, etc) spreads fast when involving any of the schools. Legacy is acceptable. Donation not acceptable. All the kids of parents in the group sport LinkedIn page :0))) I am not in the group because cannot be bothered. The Mrs is of course in the group, just because. Interesting how quickly joint share-rides and such gets arranged via the group. Yeah, some overly zealous parents (mostly all moms in the group) definitely looking of dates for their son(s). Quite amazing.
