In the ongoing U.S. college admissions scandal, a family from China is allegedly behind a $6.5 million payment in bribes to secure their daughter a place at Stanford University in California, the Los Angeles Times reported on May 1.
Yusi Zhao, also known as Molly, gained admission into Stanford in the spring of 2017 after her family, who live in Beijing, paid the sum to disgraced college counsellor William “Rick” Singer, the outlet reported, citing anonymous sources.
