Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The College Admissions Scandal is a 2019 Made-for-TV Movie, directed by Adam Salky and written by Stephen Tolkin, inspired by the 2019 admissions scandal and its mastermind, Rick Singer (Michael Shanks), who provided a "side door" for wealthy parents to get their children admitted to elite colleges. The focus is on two Los Angeles mothers, as Singer guides Bethany Slade (Mia Kirshner) and her daughter Emma (Sarah Dugdale), plus Caroline DeVere (Penelope Ann Miller) and her son Danny (Sam Duke), through the college admissions process, with a few little extra (and illegal) tricks up his sleeve to help them out.The movie also stars Robert Moloney and Kendra Westwood.It aired on Lifetime on October 12, 2019.

Alpha Bitch: Bethany Slade is a middle-aged woman, but otherwise fits the trope perfectly, treating most people like dirt and viewing herself as above the law.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Michael Shanks is ten years younger and more conventionally handsome than the real Rick Singer, who with his wiry build looks quite a bit like John Carradine.

Artistic License – History: During one argument with his parents, Danny rattles off the names of a bunch of famous singers who never went to college. Two of them, though, actually did briefly attend college before dropping out—Bob Dylan (University of Minnesota) and Bruce Springsteen (Ocean County College).
