[quote=Anonymous]While it doesn't qybe with American Sensitivities, it should be noted that a lot of these donations actually fund the attendance of far more kids who otherwise couldn't have gone, as well as research, disease cures, etc. I would rather have 1 almost qualified rich kid, and 9 superstar kids who couldn't otherwise go, than have 10 full fare kids who were taken as the best of the 'full fare' lot. Needs blind is a luxury that was made possible by very big gifts that might well have gone to art museums or symphonies instead of the public good of education absent the belief on the donors part that it might also benefit their family. Food for thought if one were trying to do the most good for the most people, instead of grousing about the one kid who got 'hosed' because of broader institutional goals.[/quote]
