The investigation into the conspiracy was code named Operation Varsity Blues.[1][2] The investigation and related charges were made public on March 12, 2019, by United States federal prosecutors. At least 53[3] people have been charged as part of the conspiracy,[4][5] a number of whom pleaded guilty or agreed to plead guilty. Thirty-three parents of college applicants are accused of paying more than $25 million between 2011 and 2018 to William Rick Singer, organizer of the scheme, who used part of the money to fraudulently inflate entrance exam test scores and bribe college officials.[6][7]#podcast #comedypodcast #3dimesreviews #wortheverycent #lol #talkingshit #hashbrownsfortonyDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel to get notified of our product reviews, we have gone all video for product reviews!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKat6OlWDkYR3j_CSYSZ3CACheck us out on Facebook :https://www.facebook.com/3dimesreviews/ Join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/335192530804290/?ref=shareCheck us out on Instagram:3 Dimes Reviews (@3dimesreviews) • Instagram photos and videosFollow us on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/3dimesreviews/status/1282844020197269508?s=20

In this episode you will hear: (11:45) In this week’s news segment, an article from Wall Street Journal, “Colleges Rethink Athletic Special Admissions in Wake of Indictments”, by Melissa Korn and Brian Costa. The infamous William Rick Singer was exposed for targeting low profile sports to find coaches who would accept his bribes. The writers of this article suggest that these coaches were most vulnerable because of being the lesser paid among other coaches – such as football and basketball; and students in these sports are less likely to be tracked by school officials. Following the indictments of Mr. Singer, along with dozens of parents and coaches, schools are taking action to guard against this degree of fraudulent behavior. We look at what changes colleges are making in their athletic offices to prevent this from happening again.     (19:22) We are in chapter 93 of 171 Answers and Mark talks through the essentials for you and your child to not going crazy while working through the college admissions process.   (34:57) This week’s question is from Michele, a college counselor from Washington. She wants Mark to address how opting to not share test scores – at test optional schools - can actually be harmful when it comes to students who need merit aid. (51:21) Mark wraps-up his interview with Peter Van Buskirk, Founder of Best College Fit, and Former VP of Enrollment at Franklin and Marshall, in “Understanding how colleges act as businesses in ways that are not in your best interest”.   ( 1:00:21) Mark’s recommended resource of the week is Julie Lythcott-Haims Ted Talk on How to Raise a Successful Adult without overparenting.

Since 2011, people have been getting caught in bribing admissions, falsifying entrance exam scores, and falsifying their childrens' high school records to get their children into a top or ivy league college or university. Some celebrities are now under fire for this, including Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Huffman only received a 14 day sentence, while there are black mothers who are facing years for lying about their address so their children can go to a better school district. We will discuss the biasis in school districts and universitites, and the consequences of falsifying information on college applications.

Today’s show is my perspective on the college admission scandal that has been grabbing headlines across the US. At the center of the scandal is a Rick Singer, a former Canadian football League player who has more recently been in the speaking circuit and working as a college admissions consultant. Fifty people, including 33 parents, were charged last month for their alleged roles in a scam by which California college-admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer said he helped get their children into selective schools either by creating fake athletic profiles and bribing coaches to list the students as recruited athletes, or boosting their ACT or SAT scores by having someone fix their wrong answers. Here’s the problem with the whole story. Who was really harmed by all of this? Some people say that the students who legitimately should have been accepted to these elite schools are the ones who were harmed. I have a different view. The parents who engaged in this deceit have hurt their own children. I believe that children learn by modelling the behaviour they witness. Rather than teach their kids to work for their accomplishments, the parents are leaving the field open for their kids to create several unhelpful interpretations. You can take a shortcut in life when things don’t work out the way you want them to. The parents don’t have faith in their child to succeed on their own. The kids could spend their entire lives thinking they’re a screw up and will never measure up. The optics of graduating from an elite school is more important to the parent’s ego than the substance of living a happy and fulfilled life. At that point the kids stop being human. They become an object for the purpose of satisfying the parent’s ego. There is so much about this story that is screwed up on so many levels. A university education is a valuable step in many people’s lives. But it’s not everything. In fact, numerous studies have shown that graduating near the top of the class from a smaller lesser known school results in better life outcomes than graduating in the bottom half of the class from an elite school. It comes down to reinforcing beliefs. If you are doing well in high-school, you might represent the top few percent in your class. When you get accepted at Harvard, you might be at the bottom of your class and still represent the top 0.1% of the global student population in terms of academic achievement. But if you spend 4 or 6 or 9 years at the bottom of your class, the message is you’re a screwup. When kids are in their formative years, developing self reinforcing patterns of high self esteem is incredibly important to constructive life outcomes. Let’s frame this story in a larger context. In 2017, Kessler international published a study based on a survey of 300 students. The survey found: 86 percent claimed they cheated in school. 54 percent indicated that cheating was OK. Some said it it is necessary to stay competitive. 97 percent of admitted cheaters say they have never been caught. 76 percent copied word for word someone else's assignments.. 12 percent indicated they would never cheat because of ethics. 42 percent said they purchased custom term papers, essays and thesis online. There is something wrong with our culture that places more emphasis on the appearance of credentials than the substance of actual education. The education is the real knowledge, wisdom, perspective, and resilience that comes from integrating experience gained on the journey of life.

And so, since even those who disagree with me have heard me out on Captain Marvel being a generally good film and not a threat to white men, here's the video I've referred to on recent episodes. It's from June 2018, and Brie Larson's acceptance speech for the Crystal Award (this is from the Crystal + Lucy Awards), she calls for more diversity among critics, and at no point does she say that she doesn't want men to see her movies, or for that matter even mention Captain Marvel. If this really upsets you, I'd advise therapy: https://variety.com/video/brie-larson-crystal-lucy-awards-critics/ Speaking of Captain Marvel, the character currently known as Shazam is on track to have the highest domestic box office earnings next week, and Pet Sematary should do quite well too, coming in second place: https://variety.com/2019/film/box-office/shazam-box-office-opening-weekend-early-tracking-1203162051/ Also - let's talk about the new trailer for Avengers: Endgame that dropped today: https://youtu.be/TcMBFSGVi1c Specifically, who's that girl getting archery lessons from Hawkeye?
