Chinese Families Paying to Get Their Kids into Elite, American Colleges

[Merlin]

Any way you slice it, they would not spend $6M do bribe their way into ANY college.  Ever.  They'd rather have the cash!

If your family had enough money that dropping $6 million on something isn't a big deal, then you and they might have a different perspective. When money isn't the biggest issue, then status and power become more important. Both of which can be more easily had by the right education and connections.

Though in some cases education is a misnomer since I'm certain that some students manage to avoid learning anything. They have people who ensure they are able to pass their courses.
