Where?  GMU?  You don't need to start a not-for-profit to get accepted into 90% of American universities, you just need a pulse and a social security number to be able to sign the student loan promissory note.

Harvard is not falling for this.[/quote]

Harvard totally is.  They need some way to distinguish all the kids with 4.0 and great race and 12 APs and 1550+ SAT.  That stuff alone doesn’t get you into Harvard but add in a non profit and it does.  [/quote]

Yup.  Our local newspaper published profiles of students who were going to top colleges this year and (in addition to having other excellent credentials) several had started 3+ nonprofits.  It may be a gimmick but it still appears to work.[/quote]

You have NO IDEA why these kids were admitted over others.  You are just guessing.  I am guessing you are guessing incorrectly.[/quote]
+1 People act like these kids are just piles of goo and the only think they have going for them is a non-profit.

These kids have the resources to be firing on all cylinders in every area that admissions uses to evaluate an applicant.[/quote]
