As the mother of a current college junior and an incoming freshman, I’ve had zero sympathy all along for the parents caught up in the “Varsity Blues” sting.

The thought of moms and dads willing to fabricate their kids’ college applications, fake their academic and athletic credentials, bribe corrupt SAT and ACT exam proctors and pay off university employees so that their children could gain admission to elite schools still makes me fume. (Though of course who knows if there will even be in-person classes this fall … sigh.)
