Now, American students with their eyes on the Ivys have yet another obstacle to face. Chinese students outside this country clamoring to get into a U.S. institution are hiring scammers, known as gunmen, to take tests such as the SAT, the GRE (the graduate school admissions test), and the English proficiency exam.
Gunmen pose as Chinese students who are either not proficient in the English language, not smart enough to score well on collegiate-level qualifying exams, or both–and help earn their clients those all-important acceptance letters.
Jasmine Huang (not her real name) was asked by someone she knew in China to be a gunman. She is currently studying at Harvard University on an F1 visa.
“I was very disappointed in this person when they asked me,” Huang told LifeZette. “He called and approached me, asking if I would take a test for a kid to allow him to get into college. I think he [the broker] has done this a few times. I didn’t do it, of course. Recently I talked to him, and he’s not doing as much–he said it’s getting harder.”
She suspects that those who monitor the test locations are also in on the scam.
[ ... ]A combination of Marxism and predatory capitalism, just like in the US, except theirs is not Multicultural Marxism, so that even if they screw up from time to time, as all societies do, the ethnic Chinese people will still exist to eventually pick up the pieces and come roaring back.
