Dear Applicant,
Thank you for applying to the MBA program at our elite university.
The quality of the applicant pool this year was exceptional. Unfortunately, your slot was filled by a wealthy foreign student who could bribe our admissions dean.
We wish you every success in your future endeavors. Thank you for your interest in our program.
Sincerely,
I.B. Crooked
Maybe you haven’t heard but there are administrators at elite schools involved in “student trafficking”. Recently, admissions staff members from the, University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University were found receiving money & “gifts” from an organization (AGOS) responsible for getting foreign student/client(s) admitted into American colleges. According to Inside Higher Ed, a magazine for educational professionals, “The parallels to the student loan scandal are self-evident…” Read here.

Wow, I didn’t know admissions officials were doing “niggas” like that. This whole thing stinks. From the looks of it, American schools are no better than their counterparts in “third world” countries. The only difference is American Colleges hide their dirt. Until Now..GOOD LOOKS on the scoop TROUBL..y’all are the shit…

Make sure you direct people to the article. We want to make sure this is known by as many people as possible. It’s an issue that hasn’t entered the mind of many college students. It.s relevant to student the loan scandal. And it’s related to the affirmative action debate.
Let others know!

WOW…lol….its not funny but than it is. We claim that education is the key to life and then we make it nearly impossible for our own citizens to become educated. We would rather give the position to a foreigner and then turn around and complain that they are taking all the jobs and resources…for a patriotic country…that doesnt sound very patriotic…

i agree that’s not patriotic. If these were puritan times a lot of people would be whipped in the market square for their transgressions…..

I’m surprised. Not so much about the act itself, college is a business after all, but about it being brought out into the public. I wonder how often this sort of thing happens and where we draw the line with recruitment.

i didn’t know there was a line to cross with recruitment..Look at the reggie bush USC scandal, it’s funny how the black ones are the ones who “get caught”. Everyone and they mama knows other dudes were getting money too. When will college players start getting stipends to live , so that decency can be brought back to college sports.

I’m not really surprised. That is why so many countries are passing us up as far a knowledge. They come here and then bring it back to their own and make it better. Then our students have to fight to get a place in this world. We help everybody and then we want to start wars over something we created. (Monsters)
