Have their parents construct a building or a hospital wing -- works like a charm.

You don't get accepted for being rich. You do, however, gain a significant advantage if your parents are rich and they have some relation to the school. In other words, not only must you be rich, your parents also have to be alumni or donors for you to gain this advantage.
However, rich parents can still get their dumb kids into the ivy league by sending them to elite prep schools. Elite universities hold such high regard for graduates from Phillips Exeter, Milton Academy and the like that simply sending your kids there gives them an advantage for getting accepted into great colleges. Furthermore, there is no entrance requirement or real academic selectivity at these schools (how could there be, for graduating middle schoolers?); and it's possible to pass without being intellectually superior to someone who gets B's and C's in decent public high schools. However, getting your kid into one of these schools gives him the prestigious college resume and the networking advantages (with their Harvard educated teachers and advisors) that they have a significantly better chance of getting into Harvard than someone who gets through a suburban public high school with a medium GPA.

Do you know that the forth word in the sentence tells what you are?? What is the meaning of the word Dumb? Well it means lock of speech, like blind, the meaning is you have last of site &. Deff is lock of hearing so why do you used word out of place and
cretiseing other people? Rich people have money and can, and do hired smart slaves to do the work while they go and pley gulf, tenest, and have good times so you see why they are rich?? you
are smart but they are rich and you the socal smart one is not
smart enough to do the work for your self and get rech like the other one, but you went and slaved for the quot & quot Dumb
person. That's a very shaim isn't it??? You must learn not to
cretised too much but work to make things better as the good way that you would like it to be OK. The rich man is not loking because he is to buisy on the gulf corse and you are too buisy making his money.>>>>>>>>.

No. Because then everyone would say that. And that doesn't make you a better person because your parents are doctors.
But a donation talks. Your family agrees to donate $500,000 to help finance the renovation of the Student Union oh and by the way, I have this son that is currently applying...
And so does connections.
So-and-so is your family friend who happens to work there and knows the dean of admissions, etc.
That's usually how people get into these schools anymore.

properly lots of adult males with promptly 4's and suitable sats get rejected by way of Harvard. so which you're no longer dumb in case you are able to no longer get into Harvard. And Chapman's annual expenditures of roughly $30K are in actuality slightly much less that different faculties I even have seen. Why no longer pass to Harvard? purely 8% of applicants get chosen. thank you invoice

This is a common lie. Ivy lleague colleges require certain ACT and SAT scores as an admission requirement. That requirement is rarely if ever waived. Very Rich people can influence the college if their child scores on the lower side of their acceptance rate but not if those scores are bottomed out. To be honest, a really poor but bright student has a much better chance of getting in.

Nope you have to work your butt off. No fooling around nothing, be in everything you can volunteer for, work at the hospital, give to others and one day somone in an Ivy League might say "hey we need her.."
Then you won't be dumb and might have some fun! Oh and if you are in college try to get into as many honor societies as you can!
Good luck!

no but if both of ur parents are doctors that graduated from an ivy league medical school--yes
please read my poem and email me your feedback, it is going to appear in the next issue of the Harvard Lampoon--a satirical magazine that stands as a stark contrast to the acclaimed Harvard Crimson.
My stomach rumbles like an avalanche,
Mercilessly obliterating all in its wicked path,
A pocket of gas grazes my sphincter hole as I excuse myself from class,
Too late.
Burning, like the fires of Hell, a rotten egg flatus gas
emits silently from my unsuspecting butthole
The air around me gets dense and moist with the hot, muster of rotten eggs
People around me, shooting glances of disgust this way and that,
Sssppppssss...oops, another pocket of flatus gas flees my buttcrack and meshes with the existing pass gas in the air,
embarrassed, i shoot glances of disgust right back at my fellow classmates,
everybody looks around, desperately sniffing their armpits--anything that is better than this insufferable gas,
what to do?
ssssppppppssss, ooopsie, another gas exits,
sweat jutts down my face and I feel uneasy, these flatus gas emittances are looking to be the bane of my existence,
will anyone forgive my social transgressions?
does anyone know its me?
squeeek!!, oops, now, every1 nos its me!

Alumni's kids (esp if both parents are) get preferential treatment.
And there are ways to buy your way in...
