Two Wall Street Journal reporters reveal the inside story of the college admissions scandal lead by hustler Rick Singer, who easily exploited a system rigged against regular people. Exploring the status obsession that seduced entitled parents in search of an edge, Korn and Levitz detail a scheme that eventually entangled more than fifty conspiratorsâa catalog of wealth and privilege.
What The Reviewers Say
A ticktock account of last year’s explosive admissions scandal.
... a book as depressing as it is gripping.
Piercing the veneer of perfection worn by Hollywood A-listers and corporate elites, Korn and Levitz show how wealthy families bribed their way into colleges like Stanford and the University of Southern California rather than bet on their children’s potential.
... a fast-paced account of the massive college admissions scam devised by Rick Singer.
