Back door, side door, whatever. They completely fabricated the past 4 years of their child's life. Nothing they put on their admissions and/or scholarship paperwork was true. Hell, they went out to a costume store and bought rowing uniforms and found some boats to take pictures in. Mind you, the brilliant daughter thought that was entirely normal and never thought to question why she was now being called a rower....she didn't know anything was up. Yeah, I bet.

When all was said and done, it would have just been cheaper to pay your kids way. Nevermind that neither of those kids gave a single runny shite about getting an education, and were just there "for the party". That was all for the "parents" and keeping up appearances.

The end result is the same. They both end up with a kid getting into college that they wouldn’t get into based off of merit. The difference is one parent pays $20 million and the other pays $500,000.
