Remember when Varsity Blues became public two years ago? There were vast sums of money involved. And the students faked either their backgrounds (pretending to be athletes) or had their SAT or ACT scores faked by having proctors paid to correct their exams. Most colleges to which the students were applying were oblivious to being duped. And most of the accused admitted their guilt.
Welcome to a new admission scandal. This one involved international students, who paid for help on everything. Prosecutors last week indicted Yi Chen and Yixin Li, who live in Southern California, for running businesses the students paid for guaranteed admission to college. In return, the students received essays, doctored transcripts of their high school or college records, someone else to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language or the SAT, and help with their student visa applications.

Yi Chen, 33, and Yixin Li, 28, were charged with conspiracy, visa fraud and aggravated identity theft in an indictment made public Monday. The document describes how the two men ran what federal authorities contend is an illegal scheme out of a pair of educational consulting companies in Alhambra and Arcadia.
