Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Okay, so we can’t talk about SATs and college admission without mentioning Aunt Becky. That scandal kind of blew the whole thing open.

And there is one element of college admissions where there is a lot of money floating around, too much money. I mean we’re talking billion-dollar industry money…the SATs.
