<p>$40 to a worthy cause! Let's sell this thing out!</p>

<p>Uh, I'm not really sure what to make of this.</p>

4

<p>If I'm already ADMITTED, what are my chances of actually GETTING THERE from Australia? :P</p>

<p>What the hell.......... I hope Columbia isn't doing this to close the endowment gap =P.</p>

<p>This kind of event is held for alumni with kids about to apply to college. I can guarantee you at least one person in the audience will ask: "So how much does it help if my child is a legacy?" And someone else will ask: "If I went to graduate school at Columbia, does that count?" And everyone will feel a growing attachment to alma mater with their childrens' academic futures at stake.</p>

<p>So, yes, in a way it's done to close the endowment gap.</p>

<p>The list of people signed up has 12 people on it. There's a sucker born....</p>

<p>You shouldn't have to pay for anything like this. There are plenty of FREE seminars that are just as showy and useless.</p>

<p>Save the $40 and buy a test prep book.</p>
