[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember writing a really extensive research paper as a kid and my mom saying — it’s so good, if we were Kennedy’s, we’d pay to have it published. (I guess the Kennedy’s did that with some book written by Jack?). So yeah it’s always been a game the rich have played, but I agree it’s gross. [/quote] But in JFK’s days admissions were so much easier. I read somewhere that in 1947, Harvard accepted 1000 students out of 1200 applicants. Don’t quote me on that. I read it quite a while ago. I also read that as late as 1990, UPenn’s acceptance rate was 41%. Even if the numbers are not quite right, the Ivys of decades ago were not nearly as selective as today’s 3rd or 4th tier colleges.
