<p>No, I mean you (or your parents) could not buy your way into HYPSM, or even a non-HYP ivy, apparently.</p>
<p>
Nah, it’s quite as easy to buy your way into certain schools (though not all) in HYPSM. But why bother when Duke’s so much better/more fun? =)</p>
<p>Some Duke diplomas are for sale (to developmental admits); others are for free (read: merit and athletic scholarships).</p>
<p>Riddle me this: If a supermarket gives away free coupons, does this mean that its groceries are just as good? </p>
<p>No, it means that the supermarket needs to attract customers to shop there.</p>
<p>
I thought we were talking about buying your way into top schools.</p>
<p>"Translation: I am not a “super ambitious economics student.” </p>
<p>No. I was actually referring to someone who wants to go deeper into economics upon graduation (phD), as opposed to someone considering going straight into work after getting an econ degree. And in that sense, no I’m not a “super ambitious economics student.”</p>
<p>And seriously. Who is “Interestingguy”? Why is he like writing posts like that on this board? Does anybody know?</p>
<p>Originpranks, IG is a ■■■■■ who posts virtually the same stuff he says about Duke on the WashU board. Ignore him.</p>
