[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to get the data on these kids and compare their success to the rest of the population in their respective schools.

They probably performed the same. [/quote]

I also wonder how far back this goes. I'm sure some of the children who benefited have graduated already. What happens to their degrees? Do they get revoked/nullified/whatever you call it?[/quote]
I'm pretty sure this has been going on for *years*.  Rich people have their set of rules.[/quote]

My boss's kid could not get into law school on his own.  Boss donated $100,000 to Southern Illinois University School of Law and they still said "No."  (And he was a trustee for SIU!) Boss then donated $1 million to Northern Illinois University and that did the trick.  Kid got a law degree and a license and then proceeded to destroy the family law firm.  [/quote]

LOL that's funny

Didn't Kushner's dad pay to get him into Harvard? It was at least a $1M.

[/quote]

Kushner was a $2.5M donation, allegedly. But maybe that was for he AND his brother, who also went to Harvard? If yes, $1.25M per.

Also note, Jared got an NYU JD/MBA, an elite T14 law program, and the president of NYU back then was a seedy guy his father knew, so I doubt Harvard was the only [i]handshake[/i]. Jared never took the bar, as doing so is public information. Failing once twice three times would be quite embarrassing and truly expose his depth.[/quote]

If Harvard admissions costs 1.25 million a student & they have a huge endowment, think of all the schools you could get into with a 250-500k donation. Even Brown’s endowment is 10% of Harvard’s.[/quote]

Worth noting Kushner's $2.5M was 20 years ago. $2.5M in 1999 is $4M in 2019 dollars.[/quote]
