I think a true tragedy in all this scandal are the high school students who worked really hard to get in to these schools, but were denied admission. Those high school students who are actually academically talented and/or top-notch athletes.
This past Sunday, CBS Sunday Morning, had this segment. This is truly a tragic story. This young lady was academically talented and the captain of her high school robotics team. She thought she was not good enough (with all her accolades) to get into MIT.
