<p>Interesting article...</p>
<p>Yale</a> Daily News - Student arrested for defrauding Yale</p>
<p>lollllllllllll. sad.</p>
<p>Those stories are always pretty sad. Yes my first instinct as a student who earned all of his grades it "HA! In your face, douchebag!" but really they're only looking for a better education/life for themselves. Seems....I don't know....excessive to possibly spend that long in jail. </p>
<p>And also...all that to go from one ivy league to another. C'mon. At least if it was from a community college you'd go "well alright. I can see the logic behind his stupidity". jeez.</p>
<p>Also, exactly when did they find out? For a case like this you'd think he wouldn't get admitted in the first place. Maybe I read wrong but this implies that they accepted him and then rescinded the admission. Shouldn't they do this kind of research beforehand for applicants? :confused:</p>
<p>Like you, my first thought was that he was already at an ivy, and an ivy that's only an hour and a half away. What was the point? And you would think they would have checked at least a little bit. Of course, how long was Marilee Jones (i think that was her name) at MIT before they caught up to her? Seventeen years, was it? Makes you wonder about the whole process....</p>
<p>25 years is kinda harsh, but it does make a point to the rest of the prospective students not to mess with admissions.</p>
<p>wow how often does this stuff happen? makes you wonder how many slip by unnoticed</p>
<p>Well this was for this year (I think) so he got caught before school started. Admitted status for 2 weeks 5 months before beginning; hardly a slip imo.</p>
<p>good point, undisclosed. I was wondering... because I thought that recommendations were promptly destroyed after the admissions season for teacher's confidentiality reasons, and the article mentioned the recommendation letter as a source of evidence</p>
<p>dumbass....lolz.</p>
