[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a legacy clearly helps, all of the data show it improves admission odds but not making it automatic by any sense. I don't think there are any data to suggest contributions matter, though it would seem to make sense that substantial contributions (naming rights) will likely help. It's a bad myth that people can buy their way into schools -- sometimes maybe but for the most part, no. [/quote] I've heard that it's not how much you contribute as a steady pattern of contributing every year, or volunteering for alumni events, because these indicate your loyalty and connection to the college. Donating a building or endowing a chair are going to get you a different kind of notice.[/quote]
