Acerca de esta escucha
This entertaining exposé on how the other half gets in tells the shockingly true story of the Varsity Blues scandal, and all of the crazy parents, privilege, and con men involved.
Guilty Admissions weaves together the story of an unscrupulous college counselor named Rick Singer, and how he preyed on the desperation of some of the country's wealthiest families living in a world defined by fierce competition, who function under constant pressure to get into the "right" schools, starting with preschool; nonstop fundraising and donation demands in the form of multi-million-dollar galas and private parties; and a community of deeply insecure parents who will do anything to get their kids into name-brand colleges in order to maintain their own A-list status.
Investigative reporter Nicole LaPorte lays bare the source of this insecurity - that in 2019, no special "hook" in the form of legacy status, athletic talent, or financial giving can guarantee a child's entrance into an elite school. The result is paranoia, deception, and true crimes at the peak of the American social pyramid.
With a glittering cast of Hollywood actors - including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin - hedge fund CEOs, sales executives, and media titans, Guilty Admissions is a soap-opera-slash-sneak-peek-behind-the-curtains at America's richest social circles; an examination of the cutthroat world of college admissions; and a parable of American society in 2019, when the country is run by a crass tycoon and all totems of status and achievement have become transactional and removed from traditions of ethical restraint.
A world where the rich get whatever they want, however they want it.

The Price of Admission is a must-listen - for parents and students with a personal stake in college admissions but also for those disturbed by the growing divide between ordinary and privileged Americans.

Historia
In 2021 cryptocurrency went mainstream. Giant investment funds were buying it, celebrities like Tom Brady endorsed it, and TV ads hailed it as the future of money. Hardly anyone knew how it worked—but why bother with the particulars when everyone was making a fortune from Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, or some other bizarrely named “digital asset”? As he observed this frenzy, investigative reporter Zeke Faux had a nagging question: Was it all just a confidence game of epic proportions? What started as curiosity—with a dash of FOMO—would morph into a two-year globe-spanning quest.

It's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley. But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports. In Game Over, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate claims of a startling cover-up within the Penn State hierarchy that attempted to protect its football legacy, quite possibly at the expense of disenfranchised children.

Boeing is a century-old titan of industry. It played a major role in the early days of commercial flight, World War II bombing missions, and moon landings. The plane maker remains a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, as well as a linchpin in the awesome routine of modern air travel. But in 2018 and 2019, two crashes of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 killed 346 people. The crashes exposed a shocking pattern of malfeasance, leading to the biggest crisis in the company’s history—and one of the costliest corporate scandals ever.

On October 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey - and then the world changed. For months, Kantor and Twohey had been having confidential discussions with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, learning of disturbing long-buried allegations. But nothing could have prepared them for what followed the publication of their Weinstein story. With superlative detail, insight, and journalistic expertise, Kantor and Twohey take us for the first time into the very heart of this social shift.

Current child-rearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured, and unafraid to speak their minds-lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in our children's behavior. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence, and individuality.

On average, an admissions committee takes seconds to decide whether to admit a student. They must sum up the student in one sentence that will tell them if a student is going to be a good fit for their program. What is the best way to transform this admissions process from a stressful, pressure-cooker arms race into an empowering journey that paves the way to the best individual outcome? Written by a college admissions insider turned consultant, Soundbite guides parents and students through the admissions process from start to finish.

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

In Who Gets in and Why, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a "good college". Hint: It's not all about the sticker on the car window.

Well Researched and Fascinating!
I was obsessed with this story when it was in the news, it was so disturbing that people are getting away with this type of bad behavior. I found Nicole LaPorte's book to be well researched and very interesting. I did not want to stop listening. She gave great insight into how Rick operated and how parents got sucked into his scheme. I also found her research on colleges and admissions on a general level fascinating. I highly recommend this book!

Fun and informative book
This book was fun to listen to, and informative. It follows Rick Singer and the big college admissions scam. I especially enjoyed learning about Singer's earlier life before the Varsity Blues scandal. This book is an interesting account of the scandal with just the right amount of background information. This "true crime" expose was pretty entertaining. I like that the author did not totally vilify the miscreants. She tried to capture them fairly in my opinion. Good narration, too,

Scary
I listened to the audiobook of GUILTY ADMISSIONS and have never been so happy not to have grown up wealthy and privileged. Investigative reporter takes readers through the pressures parents take on to have their toddlers get into the best private preschools so they can into their best private grade schools so they can get into the best private high schools so they can get into the best universities so parents can pat themselves on their backs and say, “we’re the best parents and we have the best child.”
One wise child development expert cautioned that if a child needs tutoring for preschool (let that sink in), she’ll need tutoring to be successful in nursery school. Propel that forward to Harvard. No attention is paid to the child’s strengths, weaknesses or desires, only the parents’ narcissistic desires.
An example of a child being pulled out of soccer at *age three* due to lack of kicking straight (let that sink in) in favor of swimming so he could excel and have a competitive advantage for COLLEGE made me cringe. The importance of muscle development, self-esteem or the child’s preference didn’t matter.
Though Rick Singer is a huge sleazeball, I don’t blame him. I blame the parents for their terrible values. If not for the parents, he wouldn’t have been successful in his cheating. He’s a criminal for sure, but without the parents there would have been no crime.
I think the parents got off light for their crimes, with the exception of Felicity Huffman who admitted her guilt right away, showed appropriate understanding and remorse and didn’t try to get out of her short sentence. The damage she did to her daughters and family is her biggest consequence, which she realized. I respect her for that.
I’d like to see where the families are in ten years, how the relationships between parents and children have evolved. Did the kids turn out to be self-centered assholes? Did they learn from their parents mistakes? Are any of them better people?

Engaging and Informative
LaPorte’s in-depth look at the college admissions scandal, the officials involved, the man at the center, and the people who utilized the services of the deceptive Singer is an intelligent and easily digestible look not only into the scandal itself, but also into the world of college academics from admissions to athletics, as well as a close study of privilege, wealth and social status in education. LaPorte excellently explains precisely why people felt motivated to get involved in this racket, from coaches to administrators to parents, providing a more complete and understanding picture of how this scandal came to pass, rather than a simple condemnation of the individuals involved and their actions. The book is well researched and speaks to a larger issue in American education than college admissions and academic dishonesty alone. The conclusion of the book still leaves something to be desired in terms of details, but in tracking the rise of Rick Singer and the tactics he used to create and perpetuate his scheme, LaPorte has created an engaging, easy to listen to narrative that is worth any reader’s time.

Roasting Rick (a more accurate title)
I felt turned off by the author who I wasn’t at all surprised to find out is a journalist and reporter by trade and once worked for a magazine called Vulture!
Like a vulture, the author feeds off the carrion of Rick Snyder’s already (!) decimated reputation then regurgitates it back to the public in this “book” which has the tone of mean girls gossip she acquired by obviously interviewing anyone who claimed to know the guy as if asking his EX wife or a guy he went to Highschool with was “investigative journalism.”
What a joke. The same market that consumed the snake oil salesmen Rick Snyder will likely consume this book and give rave reviews deluding themselves that bc they read it they are “in the know” know about some scandal.
The stupidest part was presenting him as a sociopath (antisocial) as if that just explains everything and absolves all the parents involved of responsibility or the burden of free will. Even if someone did diagnose Rick with APD - you have to be treating someone to diagnose them by the way - that’s not what this story is about and author too heavily weights this.
This is the story that shouldn’t be. Who didn’t know that money, power and influence rule America? Rick sounds like a poor kid who realized the American dream in true rags to riches style but then got greedy, went too far and committed crimes.
That doesn’t mean, as author implies, that everything he ever did was a crime (for example that Tab can story is the definition of petty exaggeration) not that he acted alone. He saw a market and he worked it. Now he’s the fall guy and rightly so. He broke the law but in classic scapegoat fashion fingering Rick doesn’t make anyone else more innocent and when the author talks about “the media” she should have been transparent that she meant herself.
