“每开一个这样的后门,就有一个真正诚实、有天赋的学生与本该属于自己的机会失之交臂。”

A total of 51 people have been charged in the scheme, the biggest college admissions case ever prosecuted by the Justice Department。 Prosecutors said some parents manipulated test scores and bribed coaches to get their children into elite schools by having them labeled as recruited athletes for sports they didn‘t even play。

Huffman paid 15,000 U.S。 dollars to boost her older daughter‘s SAT scores with the help of William “Rick” Singer, an admission consultant at the center of the controversy。 Singer, who has pleaded guilty, allegedly bribed a test proctor to correct the teenager’s answers。 Huffman pleaded guilty in May to a single count of conspiracy and fraud as part of a deal with prosecutors。
