An alternative to BUYING your way in......

<p>Some universities accept students who're able to make donations in the 7 figures. But i know someone who was able to do it a lot cheaper. This person's family had an excellent relationship with his private school. With only a 5 figure donation, the school boosted up his grades, wrote bragging recommendations, covered up his past "bad records", and got him in a reputable school through an appeal. I M PSSD.</p>

<p>Disgusting, if true</p>

<p>Did you just wake up to reality? Well-to-do families have been doing that for centuries, and will continue to do so.</p>

<p>the first thing i thought of when i saw your title was SELLING your way in</p>

<p>anways,
i guess it makes sense...u just talk to the head of the school and go like hey here's some money.</p>

<p>"i guess it makes sense...u just talk to the head of the school and go like hey here's some money."</p>

<p>Yeah, totally!</p>

<p>Did he pay to get into the private school too? How much did the family pay over the years to gain "an excellent relationship with his private school"?</p>

<p>Sadly, as mentioned before, it has always been like that. I had a friend who went to a private school and got all 95s ... came to my IB school and started getting 70s. I asked her about it and she admitted she used to pay the previous school. I really did not find it shocking. It happens often. Do i approve of it? Ofcourse not.</p>

<p>But the University he got into is my dream school (which I got rejected), and many more deserving kids can only wish to transfer next year. Also, he was kicked out of a prestigious prep school after 2 months, returned to his old private school, and both sides pretended nothing had happened. They covered up the entire incident! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOuch!</p>

<p>yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa right</p>
