Episode description
Applying to college is a laborious task. For most people it means sobbing while you re-write your common app essay 19 times or questioning if losing your sanity is worth your parent's ability to flex to their friends with where you're pursuing a fancy piece of paper. Unless you're one of the kids wrapped up in "Operation Varsity Blues", a scam in which wealthy parents paid their kids' way into colleges and then got caught. Talk about embarrassing.
This week we talk about how beloved TV Moms/Aunts and a bunch of random CEOs made rookie moves in what is the largest college admission scam pursued by the DOJ.
