The numbers actually go up when parents were surveyed. 25{f08af400499f49ebebec43b71545de24d0cbb35d14a8bc084edd71717d793f40} of parents say they would pay a bribe to get their kid into the college of their choice. And 34{f08af400499f49ebebec43b71545de24d0cbb35d14a8bc084edd71717d793f40} of parents say they would pay someone to take an admissions test for their kid. I think that’s crazy! If your kid can’t get into the college on their own, how are they going to survive being in college? Won’t they fail out immediately? And you’re not doing the kid any favors by artificially paving the way for them. Would you bribe someone to get your kid ahead or into the college of their choice?
