Survey: 1 in 4 Parents Cheated to Get Their Child Into College

Intelligent.com recently surveyed 1,250 parents with at least one child who attends or attended college and found 1 in 4 parents cheated to get their child into college.

This survey shows that cheating to help students get into college is not restricted to the wealthy and well-connected as depicted in the Netflix documentary “Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal.”

These findings have already received national attention, including from Forbes.

Additional key findings include:

1 in 2 parents of children who went to for-profit institutions cheated to help them get accepted
Nearly half of parents who cheated did so because their child’s high school GPA was perceived to be too low
78% of parents who took unethical steps to help their child gain college admission say their child knew what they were doing
