[quote=Anonymous][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] Nope. Harvard could never solicit another donation and continue spending and growing at the same rate, adjusted for inflation. Donations are not adding more seats, either.[/quote] Stanford added 150 seats, permanently, to last year’s freshman class, with plans for more going forward. It’s one of President Levin’s priorities, and enabled in part by - wait for it - private philanthropy.[/quote]
