Lori Loughlin‘s daughters are dropping out of the University of Southern California — because they’re afraid of being bullied over the massive college admissions scam that has left them feeling like “a mess,” a report said Thursday.

Olivia Jade, 19, and her sister, 20-year-old Isabella Rose, have decided to withdraw from USC days after their parents, “Fuller House” star Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were charged for allegedly paying the girls’ way into the school, TMZ reported.

One source told the gossip website the girls worry they’ll be “viciously bullied” if they return to school.

They’re afraid their work will now be graded to the same standards as other students. Time to drop out.

Cue Curly Bill Brocius.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about!

Did you go to that college, are you an admittance officer there, or are you somehow in on this scam?

My dad put himself though USC after his naval action in WWII

So did my dad, a navy pharmacists mate ("corpse-man" in Øbowel speak) attached to the Marines for the Pacific campaign.

I gather the GI bill back then was a lot more generous than in the late 60's. No way would it pay for USC then.

dropped out... NOT kicked out!!!

It’s back to being generous. I have a buddy who just did commercial pilot flight school on his post 9/11 GI bill. Paid for almost all of his six figure flight training bill.

The “old saying” does not comport with modern reality. USC is extremely hard to get into, especially if you are a white male. The SAT scores at USC are second only to Stanford and CalTech west of the Mississippi. This is due in no small part to the large number of foreign students who enter with high credentials and pay full freight. This is why people feel compelled to pay bribes to go there, as well as UCLA, Yale and the like.

The GI bill in the sixties would not pay all the cost of getting a degree. A certain amount might be reimbursed per course, but even a community college required additional money.

hope they quickly figure out how to m9nitize their infamy!

[EveningStar]

That’s ok. I believe you. I just remembered the one person who told me that. She was a lib. My memory fails me these days.

[nopardons]

You don't really know nor even understand this topic. Bless your heart.

All colleges have certain spots "saved" for different groups and also quotas, now, for "certain people"; sadly.

Before you attempt to discuss any topic, you should ask yourself : "HOW MUCH DO I REALLY KNOW ABOUT THIS?"; then don't post a reply, if the answer id not much to nothing.

There actually was a time when no matter how rich some family was, donation or not, legacy place or not, with very few exceptions, kids did flunk out/get kicked out. The Kennedys are the exception to that rule!

Heck, even Al Gore Jr. was NOT accepted, at Vanderbilt, for the Masters program he originally chose.

[MrKatykelly]

So comforting to know Teddy Kennedy, or his ilk, never did anything like this.

[Alberta's Child]

The single biggest reason these schools accepted these kids was that they came from wealthy families that were willing to pay the full cost -- no financial aid and no scholarships -- to attend. That's it.

Look at that one moron actress who paid half a million dollars ... just so she could then spend almost $300,000 in tuition and fees to send her daughter to USC.

The only "scandal" is that there really are people as dumb as this.

[austinaero]

I think the girls may be victims. I mean, how much control did they have over what their parents did? The shame should be on the parents, not the kids.

[MrEdd]

Oh please. As if every school doesn’t show favoritism to the kids of big donors or wealthy alumni. This common practice somehow doesn’t taint the value of the graduates’ degrees.

Absolutely it taints those degrees.

And the stupidity twisting their thinking to ignore basic truths like this in people who might be able to perform differential equations in their heads or write a symphony has gotten the get of our university system to the point where it is the university graduates who believe and are attempting to convince others that some men have vaginas and some women have penises.

The stinking rot goes back a long ways, and only those entrenched in their own foul stink cannot smell it.

Your attempt to evade even the most rudimentary logic fails you sir, and has completely the opposite effect from your intent.

[nopardons]

But they went along with it and lied about being on the crew team.

[Osage Orange]

Old...but good.

That was the saying...in the 80's.....

Springer iis one of 70,000 college-admissions counselors. Discovered completely by chance.

[nwrep]

The most shocking thing about this story is that some fashion designer named Mossimo Giannulli is married to a woman.

[austinaero]

Well then, they do bear some of the blame if they lied about themselves. Look at their parents though, it’s really disgusting. And Hollywood types still think they have some moral high ground.

[SoCal Pubbie]

That’s not true.
