[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In many cases, parents have bulldozed the "achievements" of the successful applicants to the Ivies. There are very few kids who actually start their own non-profits/businesses on their own, like that.[/quote] You think this is a real thing? You think [b]you [/b]can spot these kids and admissions officers at ivy league schools can't?[/quote] +1 I know some kids who are superstars, with zero input by the parents. I also know some kids who are average, possibly below average, but their parents have big money by fluke (mostly by way of timing), and basically bribes their way into college with $1m+ donation/s, under the guise of "athlete". So, you have no way of knowing who is who unless you know that family, directly. [/quote] Thanks for +1-ing mine, but I have to call BS on yours also. Development office admits and athletic recruits are 100% separate. This is why the "Aunt Becky" scandal was a scandal.[/quote]
