So wait you can pay 2 mil to get guaranteed admission for whoever you want now? Just weird that everyone is openly admitting that now

Elite colleges are quietly slashing the level of donations which can secure admission as mega-donors close their checkbooks to the Ivy League over antisemitism on campus.

Their long-term practice of giving special consideration to big donors' children and grandchildren has been badly hit by a growing backlash against college leaders' failure to keep Jewish students safe.

Now, according to one college counselor, a $2 million check might be the new $20 million.

Technically you're not "guaranteed" anything, but in reality everyone knows you can buy your way in, for the right price of course.

Technically, it's one dude saying that, and even then the odds are either 6% better or 46% chance overall.

Bold of you to think that Harvard et. al. don't pad out the Dean's Interest list with a large amount of no hopers who haven't donated much, or at all, and then reject them at the same rate as the general applicant pool to make it look like the big donors aren't guaranteed anything because that would cause riots from the ordinary man who still deep down is conditioned to believe in meritocracy (plus, they also have their own image of being a merit based place of learning to hold up, and saying 100% of the people on the list of big donors got in doesn't help). You have 100 donors add in 120 randoms, then admit the 100 donors and 3 randoms and voila you have your 46% admittance rate from the Dean's List.
