The ins and out of the college admissions scandal
We all have grand aspirations to one day be a part of the greatest Ivies in the world(Harvard, Stanford so on and so forth)but there is something that escapes our very attention-their ridiculous acceptance rates and exorbitant tuition fees.
Yes, taking into account the 2019 college admissions bribery and all this accounted to just admissions into the undergraduate level wherein backed by facts and incriminating evidence,parents have also been involved in illicit means to grant admissions to students,conspiring for bribery and money laundering wherein all of this was made public on March 12 2019.This is a bastardized series of events that have changed the course of US history.Now illegitimate bribing and allied scandals are a status quo in India but in the US is quite unheard of and 53 people being held for this despicable blot of a crime speaks volumes about the efficacy of the law enforcement.Insider trading, conniving with third party members who allegedly got their children admitted to top universities was one of the largest cases of its kind to burst at the seams in the US.
Ivy leagues were given ample preference over others and pseudo political gains were also intertwined with this very issue.What really piqued my interest was the specificity of all this wherein parents tend to forego the wealth aspect while also ingraining themselves in acts of utter debauchery and middlemen usage just so as to secure a future for their children so much so that their academic proclivities or achievements are completely overlooked.
This feeling of inadequacy stems from the parents who if push comes to shove want their children to study at the Meccas of higher education,by hook or by crook thus resorting to these petty methods.
Well this issue was desensitized for the general audience in order to bring forth a stake in claim for the Ivies.
