Integrity in Admissions: A Cautionary Tale

Catherine's intentions to play tennis at Georgetown were questionable, as conversations revealed no actual plans for her to do so. Evidence emerged linking cash transactions, including a significant amount of money delivered to a coach's wife for potential influence in admissions. Furthermore, Catherine's academic performance—reflected in her junior year average and GPA—was considerably below that of typical recruits at Georgetown, underscoring a disparity that questioned the legitimacy of her candidacy. Testimonies from various witnesses affirmed that admission for her profile at such a prestigious institution was highly unlikely, marking a difficult period for the defense in the trial.
