[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They express it in reverse. Alumni are liable to stop donating if their children are rejected.[/quote] My spouse and I attended the same college as did my father and his brother. We give every year and have since graduation, and we would stop if DS is rejected. We'd continue if DS declined, but I'd see a rejection as the school severing the link. [/quote] Wow. I fund our alma mater as part of our giving because I had a great experience there, feel that I want to pay it forward on the merit scholarship I received, and generally want to support the school in offering opportunities to others that are coming up through the pipeline. If my kid is one of those others, great. If not, so be it. My kid(s) will be fine no matter what because they have access to a financially and emotionally stable home. [/quote] (as pp who has been saying the same...) phew - glad to see I'm not the only one![/quote]
