[quote=Anonymous]Let cut to the chase. Are you telling me if my hypothetical child is a C+/B- student with SSAT scores of 69th percentile (I presume, well below the 'standards" for STA) and his family generously donates $5 million dollars (unrestricted) to STA (perhaps 25% of the STA endowment after 100+ years) the school will reject this boy. This child can walk, talk and chew gum at the same time. He is not a stellar athlete or artist but is otherwise a nice kid with no other issues. If you are telling me he will not get into STA I am afraid I have to disagree with you ... 110 percent. There will be a child with higher GPA and SSAT scores that will not get that seat (unless I am outbid ... the family is a bigger donor!)[/quote]
