They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it sure can buy you a one way ticket to the big house. The controversial college admission scam, thought to be the biggest ever prosecuted in the US, is a harsh reminder that though their wealth, some families have the ability to cheat their way to an even greater privilege, and some say that this particular scandal is just the tip of the iceberg.

About 50 people took part in the overall scheme from what federal prosecutors say that involved either cheating on standardized tests or bribing college coaches and school officials to accept students as college athletes, even if the student had never played or had any experience with that sport.

The act and idea of an individual shamming their way into big time colleges leads one to only imagine how hard it would be for anyone else who does in fact play a sport to get accepted in. The “cheaters” would have ultimately took up the space of someone who rightfully deserved college admission.

From “Full House” to the Big House, Lori Loughlin as well as Felicity Huffman from “Desperate Housewives,” are among the dozens of parents facing federal charges. Others charged include nine coaches at elite schools as well as two SAT/ACT administrators, an exam proctor, a college administrator, and a CEO who hastily admitted to wanting to help the wealthiest families get their children into college.

The overall scheme was arranged by William Rick Singer, CEO of a college admissions prep company called, “The Key.” Singer pleaded guilty of four charges Tuesday and admitted that everything a prosecutor accused him of was true.

Singer was essentially trying to cheat on the SAT or ACT, use his connections with Division I coaches and use bribes to get these parents’ kids into school with fake athletic credentials.

According to prosecutors of the case, some parents paid between $15,000 and $75,000 per test to help their child get a better score. Singer had also arranged for a third party, Mark Riddell, to take the test secretly in the student’s place or replace their responses with their own. But how did Riddell manage to take the test unnoticed by test administrators? It just so happens, Singer bribed earlier mentioned test administrators among the mass group of people charged.

As expected, all over the country parents are enraged that wealthy families cheated their way into elite universities, which denied spots for less privileged, harder working kids.

As of now, it is not known whether or not more people are involved in the scandal, or whether more charges will be filed. However, the investigation still remains active and that the parents that have been charged are most likely not the only parents involved which calls for further investigation, according to prosecutor Andrew Lelling. It is also not clear whether any of the students of the scandal will face charges. Lelling also states,”The parents and other defendants are clearly the the prime movers of this fraud. It remains to be seen whether we charge any of the students.”

Both actresses, Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman have not commented on the matter of the investigation.
