<p>I have been an upperclass mentor for freshman for two years, along with being a student ambassador for my school which entails going to middle schools and recruiting/advertising the school.</p>
<p>As for connections, I'm not sure how beneficial these would be, but let me know what you think. Ironically enough these two are brothers and absolutely filthy rich. And I'm talking 10 million+/year salaries. </p>
<p>Brown: I have a cousin (Dr. Paul Donahue)that went to Brown and is now an internationally famous doctor and lecturer who has written several children's psychology books. He's gone on to be the head of Columbia and Georgetown's psychology departments, and he does tons of lectures to big shots. He is a very wealthy guy who contributes a TON of money to the school. He's not a parent or sibling, but is it still a noteworthy connection? Perhaps with a phone call or letter?</p>
<p>UPenn: I have another cousin that went to UPenn that is a mega-millionaire and contributes heavily to the school? Again, not a parent or sibling, but he has definitely made it big and kept UPenn close to his heart. Any help here?</p>
<p>I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, but what the hell. Probably going to apply Early Decision to Brown or UPenn, but might investigate Cornell for ED. Who knows? Any imput would be fantastic!</p>
