$2 Million for Harvard Admission


            A former Harvard professor has been accused of charging a Hong Kong couple two million dollars to assure that their two children were admitted to an Ivy League school, preferably Harvard. The couple, Gerald and Lily Chow, has filed a lawsuit against Mark Zimney for fraud.  Though their two kids received tutoring, people can’t arrange for students to attend a particular university. College admissions have become increasingly competitive. Harvard had an acceptance rate of 6.2 percent last year. Even though neither of the Chow kids got into Harvard, both are enrolled in other Ivy League schools.

  1. This seems like a pretty ridiculous scheme to get your kids into college.
