A former University of Southern California admissions officer profited by making phony profiles for unqualified students from China and getting them into the private Los Angeles school, prosecutors say.
Chong prepared false supporting documents that included fraudulent recommendations and inflated grades, prosecutors said. He even offered a sliding payment scale depending on how much he'd have to fake a student's qualifications, according to officials.
No court date for Chong to formally plead guilty or be sentenced has been set. He could be sentenced to up to 14 months, according to federal guidelines.
