Have you been spending countless hours studying for the SATS or PSATs and crying over college admission essays, or resenting the fact your parents aren’t rich enough to buy you a place? Welcome to the club! Here are some of the funniest takes on the Aunt Becky scandal, codenamed Operation Varsity Blues.

The admissions scandal is a sad reminder of class inequality but I love that a bunch of rich kids woke up and found emails from their parents to school administrators like “plz help my child is an absolute dullard, the kid would eat sand straight off the beach if I let them”

COACH: What the hell is going on here?
