College-entrance case ensnares Obama family’s tennis instructor

A college tennis coach who also served as the personal instructor for former first lady Michelle Obama and her daughter, Malia, was among the 46 people charged by federal authorities in a sweeping college admissions bribery case announced Tuesday.
According to the indictment unsealed Tuesday by federal prosecutors in Massachusetts, Gordon Ernst, the women’s tennis coach at the University of Rhode Island, is accused of conspiracy to commit racketeering during the years he served as a tennis coach at Georgetown University.
There is no suggestion that Malia, a sophomore at Harvard, was implicated in the scandal in any way.
Between 2012 and 2018, Ernst allegedly accepted more than $2.7 million in bribes in exchange for placing at least 12 students on the Georgetown tennis team, including “some who did not play tennis competitively,” according to the indictment.
Ernst allegedly received the bribes from charitable accounts set up by William Singer, the owner of a Newport, Calif.-based college consulting business at the center of the case.

Like they say, these schools let unqualified people in through the back door all the time and it's legal.
If you try to sneak your child in through an illegal side door, you'll be in trouble if the authorities catch you.

Rich parents buy their kids into schools all the time, buying a library, a gym, etc..that is not new, but getting others to take exams for you, photo shopping your kids face on athlete’s bodies, etc etc that is taking it way over the line

Since we know all about David Hogg having bad grades and test scores, it's not very likely that he could fool Harvard into thinking he was smarter (or more athletic) than he is.
Most likely, it was their choice to take him, in spite of his academic handicaps. So he was probably let in the back door, not the side door.

They let him in because he is a far left activist, plus he used the “Im a school shooting survivor” BS since he was NOT even at the school that day, in order to get him in
