[quote=Anonymous]If you're talking about trying to buy your way in (and it sounds like you are), be prepared to play in the big leagues. I have a lot of friends who went to St. A's, and a lot of my friends' kids go or went there, and there's some serious money at that school (as there is at Landon, for that matter). Your $1,000 donation to the annual fund is not going to get your kid into the school if he didn't otherwise meet their admissions criteria. Can you underwite a new wing or building? Endow a chair? Then maybe. Otherwise, save your money for a good tutor. And try not to let your desperation show -- it's a big turnoff.[/quote]
