He offers his services as a "master coach" in a college counselling business called "The Key" that aims to help teenagers develop a "personal brand," helping them stand out from tens of thousands of others seeking admission to elite schools.
Court documents made public Tuesday indicate that Singer, 58, of Newport Beach, California, agreed to plead guilty to racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and other charges in hopes that aiding government investigators would help him obtain a lenient sentence. According to the US attorney's office in Boston, Singer conspired with parents, athletic coaches, an athletic administrator and others to use bribery and other fraud to secure admission for applicants to some of the nation's most competitive universities. Admission rates at Yale and Stanford are lower than 10 percent, and they are also quite low at other schools Singer targeted.
In the transcript of one conversation, CW-1 tells a father that he can help his daughter get a certain SAT or ACT score if she obtains special testing accommodations for a learning disability. "I can guarantee her a score," CW-1 says. "If it's ACT, I can guarantee her a score in the, in the 30s. And if it's the SAT, I can guarantee her a score in the 1400s." The maximum possible scores are 36 for the ACT and 1600 for the SAT.
Ponnusamy said he occasionally heard about Singer in the Southern California consulting market but was suspicious of him. "You can sniff out who's a scam," he said. Singer wrote a book published in 2014 called "Getting In: Gaining Admission to your College of Choice." An Amazon listing for the book describes Singer as a "26 year coaching veteran with 250,000 success stories of families that were able to gain admission to the school of their choosing and take the first steps to a life-fulfilling future." Chapter 33 of the book was headlined "Kiss Up to Your Teachers." Chapter 41 was "Hitch Up Your Safety Net.
