[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by a "big donation"? If you give something like 10,000 or 20,000, that seems awfully big to a UMC person like me, but it won't get you anywhere, and is almost sure to backfire and keep you out. Probably the same with a donation of 50,000 or 100,000 too. But are you thinking of making a donation like $500,000 or something in the millions? I have no idea how that would be received. Maybe it would get your son/daughter accepted, but you run the risk that the student is rejected anyway, and of course you can't get the donation back, and everyone who hears about your stunt will think you are an idiot or gross. So it is hard to see how this is a good idea. Two questions: What is the school and why is it so important that your son/daughter go there? there are plenty of good schools in the DMV. Is your son/daughter anywhere close to qualified? If so, why not just apply and hope they get in on their own?[/quote]
