[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the STA admission's office would have diffuculty celebrating the strengths of a C student from a family that just donated $5 million to the STA community? Do you? [/quote] I do not think it's possible to buy admission to St. Albans; if it IS possible, I'm sure it's one of the most difficult schools at which to pull it off. I'm sure STA would love to have the money (the school actually has a much smaller endowment than it should), but the downside of bending the school's standards too far would be too great; the school's ongoing reputation for excellence bears this out. I've had fairly close contact with the school at various points, and I've never been aware of a student about whom others (fellow students, faculty, parents, etc.) have said, "What the h3ll is that kid doing here? Oh, that's right, his mom and dad have a huge bank account." You simply must have SOMETHING compelling and non-financial to hang your hat on.[/quote]
