PUBLIC RAGE GROWING: Lori Loughlin's Daughter Getting Absolutely Roasted over College Entrance Scam

I saw a video the little princess put on YouTube saying she doesn’t give a damn about school, she just wants to party. She also has a stripper name. Let me guess: the names of her rich friends on that Trustees yacht are Tiffany, Diamond, Tawny, Amber, Candy, Bambi, and Chrystal.

So the public is becoming enraged over this and not...

You're right.

The story about Robert Kraft getting a massage wasn't enough to distract the public from an attempted coup against a sitting president. This college story should do it. Class envy always breeds outrage!

If this doesn't do it, maybe they can fabricate a story about Kim Kardashian having an affair with a lesbian.

"...they probably should have been admitted in the first place ..."

Top universities receive far, far more applications than they have openings for students. The goal for schools like MIT, Caltech, or Stanford would be to maximize the number of Nobel Prize winners or other accomplished people among their alumni. Only by continuing to admit the best can they hope to maintain their reputations as top schools.

In 1983, Stanford had 7 applicants for each spot in their Graduate School of Engineering. They had to say no to six well-qualified students for each one admitted. Many of those denied admittance would probably have succeeded in accomplishing the course work.

I don't disagree with you. The focus on admitting highly-qualified candidates, though, is much stronger in graduate schools than it is in undergraduate programs. Anyone I know who attended an Ivy League school for an undergraduate degree has told me that it was far harder to get into the school than to stay in it. In fact, I suspect my engineering education at a local state school was better than what I would have gotten at many prominent schools.

I'd also suggest that it's hardly a crisis for six out of every Stanford applicants to do their graduate engineering studies somewhere other than Stanford. It's a good school, but outside of academia its importance for an engineering career pretty much vanishes after someone lands in their first job.

Oh good grief.
Dr. James Dobson (”Focus on the Hamster”) got his PhD in psych from USC, IIRC.

[grey_whiskers]

If he has a high undergrad GPA ( > 3.8) and decent GRE and faculty recommendations, he’ll get in anywhere he wants.
Don’t sweat it. The rules for entering grad school in STEM are far different from undergrad.

It could be a real problem for many if bogus/paid for degrees put incompetent teachers,doctors or lawyers out there. Depending on how far back, how widespread this is and who/what the degrees conferred for $$ are for, it could affect many lives. Shouldn't this make us question the validity of the degrees these universities give out?
Is a multimillionaires trustfund kid is a doctor or lawyer I would investigate if they earned that degree legitimately.
Let the schools rep suffer-not people who trust those with fraudulent degrees.

Right, because pointing out one graduate you find goofy in spite of his success plainly means the school couldn’t possibly be elite!

[tuffydoodle]

OMG hahahaha thank you so much for that!

[woodbutcher1963]

Thanks, that is what he says. He has a 4.0 GPA.
However, he was turned down for a Dartmouth summer work study. The only thing we could think of was he is a white male.

[grey_whiskers]

My point was the school does not *guarantee* anything about the degree recipient.

Timothy Leary was a Hah-vahd grad.
As was Lothrop Stoddard.

Like dandruff. Flakes everywhere.

[gogeo]

Gee, that sounds like a Hallmark Movie...

[mowowie]

Hey i think i saw that movie on Hallmark!!
LOL

[woodbutcher1963]

So was Theodore J. Kaczynski

(the Unibomber)

[gogeo]

The bush daughters never seemed all that bright to me and the University of Texas where at least one of them graduated is named in this scandal.

Daughters of a Prez, approval is a formality. Same with Chelsea Hubbell.

[blueplum]

it’s probably because Loughlin’s dau has a successful brand. But point taken - there are many ‘ethnic’ people on the list and we don’t even hear their names.

Pass it on. If you get the browser extension, it puts a green button on Twitter, the tube and Reddit. It may work other places I haven’t seen. It is hilarious.
