How an ex-basketball coach tried to pull off the biggest college admissions scam ever, allegedly roping in CEOs and celebs.
that there are three "doors" for entry into elite colleges. The "front door" is the traditional method of getting good grades and exceptional test scores, while the "back door" involves donating large sums of money to a school. What Singer offered parents and their children was entry into elite colleges through what he called a "side door." In many cases, that meant, very simply, cheating, feds say.
"If you wanted a perfect score on the SAT, that's what you got," Caroline Connolly, crime reporter for NBC Boston, tells CNBC's "American Greed" of the services Singer allegedly offered to parents and their children. Another method Singer allegedly touted was to set up his clients with a psychologist who would diagnose the student with a learning disability, allowing them to get more time to take the test.
NBC Boston's Connolly tells "American Greed": "They would doctor up these fake resumes of all these athletic accolades, and say 'My kid plays this sport.' And, as soon as the kid got in, they would come up with something like an injury, or whatever, so they would never actually play the sport. But, they were on the roster and they got in [the school] as an athletic recruit.
