There was a young woman from downstate who, a few years back, wanted to go to Harvard and thought that the best way to do this was to become valedictorian.

She and her father conspired with a doctor to excuse her from normal classes due to "allergies", so that she could still be enrolled in her high school but take courses from paid tutors in her home for every available AP exam.

So she became, I believe, valedictorian and also claimed to be disabled.

Her father also gave her the money to "found" a charitable trust to pad her high school resume: "A disabled genius who still found the time to start a charity!"

Pigs is Pigs.

A cautionary tale of bureaucratic idiocy at its finest.
