<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>So this a really silly Question and I'm guessing that it won't help me but I am going to ask anyways. So one of my relatives, my grandmas cousin just died but he donated A LOT of money to Harvard, I think it was around 500,000 to 1 million. </p>

<p>This probably won't help me and I really don't have any desire to to to Harvard. </p>

<p>Do you think it would help me with admissions? </p>

<p>500,000 isn’t that much. Plus you’re a distant cousin I don’t think it’ll affect you at all</p>

<p>Nope. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>That’s not enough to buy your way into Harvard.</p></li>
<li><p>You probably have no close relationship with the person.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Ok thanks ya that’s what I thought. Thanks!!</p>

<p>I know you might find this hard to believe, but 1MM is not “a lot” of money by Harvard standards.</p>
