One special gifts officer told me that the U had rejected a rather limited number of people whose families had 8 billion dollars.

3 million might get you into Brown, but it isn't going to get you into Harvard.

I think this is a "we call you" situation, so if the kid is on the bubble they ask for the bribe. It doesn't work the other way if the kid is unqualified. No more Kushners...

I don’t know what the price tag is but the gap year thing is true, the people I was familiar with had billionaires as parents.

why do you have to take a gap year?

they admit you off of the waitlist if your family donates a lot but i think they get to not count it in this years numbers or next years if they give you a deferred acceptance
