Yale University has rescinded the admission of a student whose family paid $1.2 million to get them in
Yale has said two people applied to the university with fraudulent athletic endorsements from women's soccer coach Rudy Meredith. One was denied admission despite the endorsement, and the other was admitted and was attending Yale, the university said on its website.A Yale spokesman did not provide any more information on the student.The decision comes as Yale, USC, UCLA and other major universities deal with the fallout from the sprawling scandal.
Singer sent that fake profile to Meredith, who then falsely designated the applicant as a women's soccer recruit to help her gain admission to Yale, according to a criminal indictment.The applicant's parents paid $1.2 million to Singer for the arrangement in the spring and summer of 2018, and Singer mailed Meredith a check for $400,000 after the applicant was admitted to Yale. The parents are not named in the complaint.
