Multiple lawsuits are filed for more than $500 billion accusing Yale, USC and more of letting students 'waste' money applying for elite schools when it's actually rigged in the wake of college admissions cheating scandal

Multiple lawsuits have been filed for more than $500 billion against elite universities and those implicated in the college admissions scandal that helped wealthy Americans cheat their children's way into school.
Two Stanford students filed a $5 million class action suit on Wednesday claiming they were denied opportunities to get admitted to Yale and USC and have now had their degrees devalued in the wake of the recent charges.
Meanwhile, a San Francisco parent has filed a separate $500 billion lawsuit claiming her son was not admitted to some colleges because wealthy parents charged in the scandal thought it was 'OK to lie, cheat, steal and bribe their children's way into a good college'.

In their lawsuit, Stanford students Erica Olsen and Kalea Woods say they never would have wasted their money applying for elite schools like Yale or USC if they had known they were 'rigged by fraud'.
Olsen said she was rejected from Yale after paying her application fee of roughly $80 despite her 'stellar' test scores and athletic ability. 
'Had she known that the system at Yale University was warped and rigged by fraud, she would not have spent the money to apply to the school,' the lawsuit states. 
'She also did not receive what she paid for - a fair admissions consideration process.' 
Woods said in the lawsuit that she was also an exceptional student and athlete but didn't realize applying to USC was 'an unfair, rigged process, in which parents could buy their way into the university through bribery and dishonest schemes'.
Both Stanford students claim their degrees have been devalued by the scandal because potential employers may question whether they were admitted on merit or having rich parents. 
Their class action lawsuit names UCLA, USC, University of San Diego, Stanford, University of Texas at Austin, Wake Forest University, Georgetown and Yale universities.

They are seeking return of admission and applications fees. 
Jennifer Kay Toy, a former teacher in Oakland, California, filed a $500 billion civil lawsuit on Wednesday accusing 45 defendants of defrauding and inflicting emotional distress on everyone whose 'rights to a fair chance at entrance to college' were stolen through their alleged conspiracy.
Toy said she believed her son Joshua was not admitted to some colleges, despite his 4.2 grade point average, because wealthy parents thought it was 'ok to lie, cheat, steal and bribe their children's way into a good college.' 
Toy did not say where Joshua might have won admission but for any chicanery. According to his social media accounts, Joshua is currently enrolled at the University of California, Davis.
Fifty people, including 33 parents and many athletic coaches, were criminally charged in the scandal.
Among the 50 were the actress Felicity Huffman, actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli, and TPG private equity partner William McGlashan Jr.
They are among the defendants in Toy's lawsuit, as is William Singer, the accused mastermind of the scheme.
Prosecutors said Singer since 2011 used his Edge College & Career Network and an affiliated nonprofit to help prospective students cheat on college admission tests and bribe coaches to inflate their athletic credentials.
Singer pleaded guilty on Tuesday to racketeering charges.
