Seven Long Island, New York, students were charged with taking part in a scheme in which six of them paid the seventh to take the SAT college-admissions test on their behalf, prosecutors said. Six current or former students at Great Neck North High School, about 20 miles east of Manhattan, are accused of paying Samuel Eshaghoff, 19, of Great Neck, to impersonate them so they could get higher scores on the test, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen M. Rice said in a statement. Eshaghoff, a 2010 Great Neck North graduate, now attends Emory University in Atlanta after spending his freshman year at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Rice’s office said. He was paid $1,500 to $2,000 for each test, and took the exam for free for a female student. [Bloomberg]

    Since he was IDed at the door, it sounds like the "girl" had a surprise for him (and her name was L-o-l-a)

    Flunking out of U of Mich but still convincing seven people to pay him to write their SAT is the NKI.

    a 19-yr old college guy impersonating a high school girl. Yeah. That could work.
    Another example how how public schools are failing.

    The Harvard kid was charging $10k per test. He was smart enough not to get caught.

    You get what you pay for.

    The female student story was a cover up. He was actually interviewing for Ping Capital and we had him dress up like that. I'm just glad the paper didn't find out about the markers.
