Yale rescinds admission of a student whose family paid $1.2 million to get her in

Yale University has rescinded the admission of a student who was admitted as part of the ongoing college admissions scandal, the first instance of a school doing so since the scheme became public two weeks ago.

Yale has said two people applied to the university with fraudulent athletic endorsements from women’s soccer coach Rudy Meredith. One was denied admission despite the endorsement, and the other was admitted and was attending Yale, the university said on its website.

A Yale spokesman did not provide any more information on the student.
