The College Admissions Scandal refers to a widespread scheme in the United States where wealthy parents paid large sums of money to secure their children's admission to prestigious universities. This involved bribing college officials, falsifying test scores, and creating fake athletic profiles. The scandal came to light in March 2019, leading to numerous arrests and legal consequences for those involved. Prominent figures, including actress Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, were implicated in the scandal. The fallout raised questions about fairness in the college admissions process and highlighted issues of privilege and inequality in education. The scandal prompted many institutions to reevaluate their admissions practices.
