Georgetown University expelled two students in connection with the massive college admissions scandal Wednesday — the same day one of them filed a federal lawsuit in hopes of blocking his ouster.
In the student's federal complaint, Adam Semprevivo claimed he had no idea what his dad, Ernst and operation's ringleader, William Rick Singer, were doing. He said Singer filed an admissions application, complete with phony documentation of his tennis prowess, without his knowledge. Two of the four students have already graduated, and the two others — Adam Semprevivo being one of them — were still in school as of March.
"Failing to get him back into Georgetown, we want him to be able to leave with credits intact with no negative reference in his transcripts," Kenner said."We don't want three years wasted of his life."
Kinda hard to believe that dad filed a bogus admissions application and paid $400k in bribes ... and the son didn't know a darn thing?
He must really want to go G’town.
“In his lawsuit, Adam Semprevivo said he had an SAT score of 1980 — 640 in reading, 640 in math and 700 essay...and thus didn't need any shady strings to be pulled on his behalf at Georgetown.” These SAT scores are WAY below average for Georgetown.

Georgetown University to Expel Two Students Tied to Admissions ScandalGeorgetown University said it would expel two students implicated in the college-admissions scandal—hours after one of the students sued the school for allegedly depriving him of due process. Kids got balls. Given that Adam Semprevivo's admission to Georgetown was obtained through his Dad's bribery to the tune of $400,000 (as evidenced by his Dad's guilty plea), why should Adam be afforded any right of process? He never should have been admitted as a student in the first place. As they should admission granted under false pretenses
