[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it shows “need-blind” admission is complete BS. It’s a zero-sum game. If you give preferential admissions to the ultra rich, then that means there are fewer seats open to people who need aid. If a school was really need-blind, there would be no preferential treatment to the ultra wealthy. [/quote] Actually, without ultra rich donors, there’d be fewer seats from the get-go. Ultra rich donor kids don’t so much take up a seat as they create additional ones (including one for themselves).[/quote] The ultra rich want exclusivity, not more seats. There’s a reason most elite schools don’t double their student body, even though they could fill whole classes with highly qualified, full-pay students. [/quote]
