USC is not a state school and it has a 17% admittance rate.

if I had a dime every time someone told me “we can’t afford it, we can’t afford it, even with a scholarship we can’t afford it,” when I was applying to colleges....

I don’t know a more embarrassing OJ to come out of USC.

Those cheek highlights are not great advertising for her palette.

I mean, if you paid that much to get her into college, just how many of those subscribers and followers are real and not bought (bot)?

Who's Loughlin now?

They might just be used to things being this way. Kind of like Jon Hamm’s character on 30 Rock, if things have always been handed to you, you might not realize it’s not normal. (And these kids might also just be dumb as shit.)

Wealth is a hell of a drug.

I went deep and found an article that published the emails. The Hoffman/Macy daughter was legitimately granted double time by the College Board. It’s not super unusual for kids with certain learning disabilities*. That kid probably had no idea her mom cheated on her behalf. The others...eh, not so much.

From what I read, the “proctor” would be there for an untimed test and would then change the answers after. 

Exactly. Also, wouldn’t they know what the admissions standards for the school were, and be confused about why they got in when their grades didn’t match up? These kids must have had some inkling. But, either they think that’s how it works because their parents have been making all sorts of things happen for them…

The funny thing is, if a black person works their ass off to get into a school, racists will yell about affirmative action. MEANWHILE.........

It’s totally believable that de Blasio didn’t know who made the song. Even if he had known, he was there as a guest and I could see why one might choose to just go along with it in such a situation.

Totally feasible.

Yeah, I feel like Jezebel gets really judgy sometimes when people don’t know every pop culture reference.

I have not thought about this song in years and also somehow completely forgot that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well why the hell was the song being sung in a church?!  Now people will think there's a connection between organized religion and sexual abuse!!

And this is why married men live longer.  

That leg though.

She looks gorgeous there, dang.
