[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ll be shooting your self in the foot. The only time it’s appropriate to do this is if you are an alum or a grandparent was. Otherwise it’s crass. How many rich parents can afford to do what you are doing? Tons. Money is a flush in DC and NYC. [/quote]

The schools do it all the time. You may think it’s crass but there it is. Where do you think the term development admit comes from?[/quote]

The schools do it all the time but it has to be in an innocuous fashion. Like the head of school recommending you as a good donor. Or you expressing an interest in the school and donating for multiple years before you actually do admissions. Whipping out your check book and saying how much is bribery. And frankly five years of tuition, let’s say 300k, these schools are so competitive most rich people can do that if they thought that guaranteed them a place. [/quote]

Yup.  It’s a bribe.  Pay to play at the expensive privates.[/quote]
