Opinion | Christina Tucker: Felicity Huffman's sentencing in the college admissions scandal is irrelevant. - NBCNewsTHINK
The celebrity admissions scam is easy to talk about because the sums of money are so vast and the court transcripts read like cartoon villainy. It’s clear to everyone that these people willingly participated in a fraud, that they did something wrong. It is a lot harder to see the iniquity when looking at your own life. It’s harder to admit that my SAT score didn’t come from innate talent or an inner drive to learn the material on the test.
I didn’t have to worry about studying with an outdated prep book borrowed from the library, nor did I have the added stress of worrying that the score I received would tank my chances of getting into college. I had options and I knew that, even then.Huffman’s daughter would have gotten into a fine college, too. She might not have gotten into Stanford, but she also had options, unlike many others. These students were never at risk of not getting into any college, not really.
