Mini-cast: You Don't Know the Half of It, Part 1 (w/ Lauren Schandevel)

We brought friend of the show Lauren Schandevel back on to vent about and break down last week's college admissions scandal. Lauren (whom we interviewed back in Season 1) is a brilliant, working-class student at the University of Michigan and she has some thoughts about rich people buying and bribing their kids' way into elite colleges and universities.    Additional links/info below...
