First, the unbelievable lengths and money spent to gain entrance to American colleges and universities. It would seem to me that this money could be spent on private tutors to ensure the student was actually prepared to not just be accepted to college, but to excel once they got there. The other aspect that struck me is that fact that the American educational system has been ranking lower and lower when compared to other countries, yet these students are still cheating to get into this supposed broken system. The question ultimately becomes what are colleges and universities willing to do in order to vet their applicants. Two things about this posting surprised me.

Its not fair to American students who work hard and study hard to actually get these grades and write these essays. I honestly think this is ridiculous.

Very popular thus far.
