The Chinese family that made the biggest payment to the ringleader of the college admissions scandal said Thursday that they were duped and that the $6.5 million payment was actually made weeks after the young woman was admitted to Stanford University.
The mother of the student, Yusi Zhao, who is from China, hasn't been charged. In a statement released through the family's attorney, Zhao's mother, who is identified only as"Mrs. Zhao," said Yusi Zhao was accepted by Stanford"through ordinary channels" on March 31, 2017 — three weeks before she made the $6.5 million payment, thinking it was a charitable donation.
The statement said William Rick Singer of Newport Beach, California, whom the Zhao family consulted for advice on getting into prestigious U.S. universities, was"surprised" to hear of Yusi Zhao's acceptance. It was only later that Singer ask Mrs. Zhao to make a donation to Stanford through his foundation, the statement said.
The $6.5 million payment was made on April 21, 2017, in the belief that it would be passed along to Stanford as a donation, the statement said."The donation is in the same nature as those that many affluent parents have been doing openly to prestigious universities," according to the statement.
