The Chinese student whose parents reportedly paid $6.5 million to secure her a spot at Stanford University previously denied assumptions that she got accepted by the exclusive university because she was rich, saying she got in through her “very hard work.”

In a 2017 video, Beijing-native Zhao Yusi, also known as Molly, described how her diligent studies and can-do attitude allowed her to gain admission into the prestigious American college.
