[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an Ivy alum and started donating small amounts (like $250) when dc was 4. Every year increased amount. She applied ED, was deferred then accepted. Did my donations help? I can tell you she would never have gotten in if not legacy, only bc her yr at her school only legacies and URMs were accepted. All the legacy kids had parents who consistently donated (but no buildings named). Just anecdotal but fyi.

However, applicant MUST be competitive (3.9+, 1500+, etc.).

Also, I don't believe at all that admissions office is unaware of donating alums. Of course this could change in the next decade.

As a Brown alum, I can't imagine you can't donate from your own income sources. It can't hurt. It also leads to invites, opportunities for involvement and interesting events, which I have really enjoyed.[/quote]

I’m gonna barf.  But before I do I have to ask:  how the hell do you know that “all” the legacy kids donated?  Even if you’re talking just about your own school?  How many kids are you talking about exactly?[/quote]
