    They are fixed in that there is a general max where they just don’t have the space and staff to handle anymore. But, schools accept less than this because they want the perception of selectivity. Using the US News list its not until 25 with U Michigan that you have a school that accepts more than 10%. Just 2 privates

    On my last point.  Hunter Biden went to Georgetown and Yale Law.  Don Jr went to UPenn.  Do either of them seem like their first name got them in and not their last?  Or W? 

    There have been two high profile cases in recent years around corruption and higher education. Operation Varsity Blues here and the Adidas basketball case. In both of these overall cases the federal prosecutors have straight up protected the status quo.

    This is not going after the corrupt system in any way. This case is protecting that corrupt system. All this case did was to tell rich parents to donate to the school directly instead of a middle man.

    Not a single kid from a disadvantaged background got left out because of this. Schools don’t have hard limits on the number of students they admit. So if they can get some foreign student in they will add them to the class even if it was “full” or a kid with parents that just donated a 100k.

    If Lori and her husband just wrote the damn check directly to USC their kids would have got in zero question there.  

    In Operation “Varsity Blues” on the school side its been mostly coaches in low level sports that no one gives a shit about like crew or water polo. There was one with football but even that was a position coach.

    They are being punished for not cheating the correct way. They paid a middle man instead of just writing the check to the school which is fine and commendable.No poor kid was screwed over because of this scheme because like you said they just add a kid and what these kids where doing is not in the same pile as kids

    Thanks for sharing your shitty lack of taste with us.

    Zack loves the poor.  He dated a homeless girl.  He did everything he could to make Kelly’s prom the night of her life after he learned that world peace broke out which meant her dad lost his job.   In college he was a key part in the big Thanksgiving dinner to raise money.  Hell, he even gave up money and scraped by

    What a shock the Neo Liberal shill is for championing a Disney theme park ride.  Could Gawker be more transparent with their paid comments?

    Really?  You suspect

    So you are trying to insult me by saying I am illegal. No fucking shock that #resistance is a joke

    Let me guess you still blame Hillary Clinton’s loss on everything but Hillary Clinton

    Let me guess you are voting for Bloomberg or Mayor Pete like a good little gawker neo liberal

    You just be honest. You hated the film the minute Gawker Media/Film twitter told you it was bad without bothering to see it.

    AV CLub might be woke and #resistance but it sure as hell not leftest.
