Also part of the widespread scandal was indicted parents who used several means to helps their children do better on SAT and ACT standardized exams.
These parents paid between $15,000 and $75,000 per test to the exam administrators who gave students answers, corrected their work or let others pose as the students to take the tests, according to the indictment.
Huffman used the phrase “Ruh Ro!” after finding out that her daughter’s school would be proctoring her SAT exam. Another parent, William McGlashan Jr., was instructed by Singer to claim his child had a learning disability in order to win more time for his son to take the exam alone.
According to the indictment, Singer told Gordon Caplan, a co-chairman of international law firm Willkie Farr, that he’s essentially created a “side door” for wealthy families to get their kids into college, often without the kids ever knowing that they did not really qualify for entry.
“There is a front door which means you get in on your own,” Singer said. “The back door is through institutional advancement, which is 10 times as much money. And I’ve created this side door in.”
“Nobody knows what happens,” Singer said. “She feels great about herself. She got a test a score, and now you’re actually capable for help getting into a school. Because the test score’s no longer an issue. Does that make sense?”
