Guilty Admissions: The Bribes, Favors, and Phonies behind the College Cheating Scandal Free Audiobook Download by Nicole Laporte
Nicole Laporte shares her experience in the college admissions process, and how she became hooked on writing about it. She starts by explaining that there is a thin line between love and hate for people who work at colleges or the people who work to get into them. High school seniors are bombarded with letters and applications that ask for their SAT scores, AP exam grades, extracurriculars, leadership positions in organizations, athletic records and more. Nicole talks about how many times she was rejected before ultimately landing an interview.
Guilty Admissions: The Bribes, Favors, and Phonies behind the College Cheating Scandal is an audiobook that tells the story of how a high school teacher learned of and brought to light the widespread cheating taking place on her campus. With over 2 million downloads in its first month, it's now being turned into a movie by Netflix.
From the beginning of the admissions scandal, there was one name that stood out: Betsy Foldes Meiman. This woman was the mastermind behind college-prep cheating scandals around the country. She had taken over from parents and now ran a massive empire of middlemen who would deliver students to colleges with A-level transcripts. She made more than $1 million a year doing it.
"Tellingly, the cheating scandal is a problem that has only been publicly exposed in recent years. It can be argued that college students are more mature nowadays and that they might not need to resort to this kind of behavior to get ahead in life."
The college cheating scandal is a global phenomenon and the book [Guilty Admissions] by Nicole Laporte provides a detailed account of how it happens, who does it, and why. The reader walks through the stages of the scandal from the first students to cheat in order to score good grades, to how today's cheated-upon students struggle with consequences of their actions.
