I guess every parent here in this community would love to see his/her kids going to top universities like Harvard and Princeton etc. But under current circumstances where the admission rate for Harvard drops to as low as 3-4% across the board and no more than 5% for Princeton, how can us parents do to substantially increase such chance for our kids? Of course students athletes and donors’ children enjoy much higher admission rates like 80-90%, but that’s beyond our topic here.
I heard Harvard’s Global Advisory Council when I read the news that Chairman Wang Jianlin of Wanda Group and the Director of Chow Tai Foo in China joined Harvard’s Global Advisory Council. Since I also own a large influential corporation in China, there is a chance for me to join the Council in future as well, as long as someone in charge nominates me. I am wondering, does joining the Council mean the same as being a faculty member at Harvard? If so I would like to see that happen because children of Harvard’s own faculty members enjoy much higher admission rates (40-50% from what I heard).
Maybe Princeton/Yale/Stanford/MIT has similar institutions within each university? Feel free to share your idea if you know the answer. Thank you!
