Why is any of this so hard to believe when one lower Ivy had a $10,000 price tag within the past decade & this was widely written about & acknowledged by the school ?
$500,000 is a lot of money for a lower Ivy & if offered almost certainly will result in attractive options.
The incredible part of this story has yet to be addressed in this thread. Someone actually paid serious money to get their child admitted to a no-name Pennsylvania prep school.
