hey guys, i just had a conversation with an acquaintance of mine. That person argued that a contribution of $1 billion will get the donator's kid, not at all qualified, into that school 100%, even into the ivy schools. I was not convinced, and now ask for your opinion. What do you think? do you know any relevant precedent?

George Dubya. Nuff' said.

a billion....without a doubt.

think about it

a billion dollars would increase the dartmouth endowment 50% and the applicant's stats would only negligibly bring down the accepted student profile.

of course. Even a few million will definitely bring in a less than outstanding student. I'd say 1 million would get just about anyone in...

lol, if you donated $1 billion, they would not only accept you, they would name a couple of buildings after you.

What About donating 200$? (;

LOL donating $200 would get you a laugh in the face.
