I'm somewhat surprised at how many commenters here are shrugging off or even supporting this blatant corruption by these wealth-defiled crooks.

I wonder how this comment section would look if it was revealed that people from a low income background had hacked the admissions system to gain entry. I expect the tone would be much more critical, calling for prosecutions and sanctions, and lamenting the sheer unfairness of it. I'm pretty sure it would be in stark contrast to all the bribery apologism we can see in these threads.
