The Ebbtide has paraphrased a few of these answers.

  • “I’ve personally never been a part or seen any scams. The closest thing to that where I’ve ever heard of that is on TV shows. It’s always a plot point, like in a movie.” – Richard Le
  • “I’ve heard of college as a scam. As a whole, it’s sort of like a rigged gamble, just depending on the opportunities and the connections and the idea of having an ‘in.’ I’ve never been innocent to the idea of bias being involved in college and career opportunities.” – Zachary Stevens
  • “I’ve maybe heard a little about scams, but not a lot.” – Nate Osborn
  • “I’m not too familiar with any scams that have happened. I’ve heard that it happens, especially for people with money, such as other people taking SAT classes for somebody.” – Lisa Dorgan
