It may be 93 degrees in the shade right now, but there’s a cool back-to-school breeze right around the corner. And if your offspring happen to be approaching college age, Rambling has some happy news: Rick Singer is once again available to help.
Singer, of course, was the educational entrepreneur behind the 2019 Varsity Blues college admissions scandal who bribed coaches, rigged test scores and falsified academic credentials while charging a slew of high-profile Hollywood parents — like Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman — hundreds of thousands of dollars. Since he was released from prison last year — after serving just 16 months of a 42-month sentence — he’s been on something of a comeback, rebuilding what appears to be the same sort of college coaching venture that got him into trouble in the first place.
It’s called ID Future Stars, and its website boasts an “80-96 percent acceptance rate” at students’ first-choice schools and identifies Singer as its “Master Coach & Lead Advisor.” In fairness, Singer, now 66, does fully cop to his crimes on his bio page, even if he doesn’t exactly apologize for them. “I made a mistake, took full responsibility and want to share my expertise, passion and desire,” he offers, promising to continue to “utilize” his “deep relationships” with the “respected decision-makers” to “find a college and career that is the right choice for each individual.”
