[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go to your 25th reunion where you are wined-and-dined and they start the not-so-subtle fundraising pressure, knowing that you're likely to have DCs who are old enough that you're thinking ahead to college, but young enough that they aren't in the window of the admissions cycle. You may also start to get lots of friendly texts and emails from development people who want to meet you for coffee or whatever on their planned visit to your city. You engage these people politely, perhaps donate more than you'd otherwise consider donating, and hope for the best when your DC applies (if they apply . . . both of ours chose to apply ED to schools that weren't either of our alma maters).[/quote] And then either crickets when DC doesn’t get in, or the full court press if they do. Did they actually flag the file as development priority? Probably not. It’s a dirty money game. [/quote]
