[quote=Anonymous]I've certainly seen family legacy at the university play a significant role, as well other priority characteristics (at that time, family structure diversity, ethnic diversity, socioeconomic diversity, etc.), in choosing among the many qualified candidates. I actually never saw financial giving (or potential financial giving) play a role. There was one case in which an applicant was accepted who wasn't particularly academically or otherwise qualified (my subjective judgment based on limited information), but I think that was due to the fact that he had a parent who had been a long-time professor at the school, though donations could have played a part (I really have no idea). I have seen big donors receive a softer let-down when their kids were not accepted. Advance calls, offers to meet personally, etc. [/quote]
