<p>you bid for a seat in Harvard's Class of 2012???</p>
<h2>Assume that there are only 50 spots left, and the top 50 bidders gain admission</h2>
<p>If I had the funds, there is no amount I would not pay.
I'd probably also throw in free landscaping of Harvard Yard for the whole 4 years.<br>
Yeah, I'd lose all my Saturdays to mowing, but it'd be so worth it.</p>
<p>1 billion, frillion, tidullion dollars, make that pounds.</p>
<p>From a professor of economics at Harvard: </p>
<p>nothing. if i didn't earn it, i don't want it.</p>
<p>I agree... I wouldn't want to go to Harvard with "I'm only here b/c i paid X amount of money" hanging over my head for the next four years.</p>
<p>and, as you use that degree and that education to get jobs, the rest of your life.</p>
<p>People say all the time that they would KILL to get into Harvard, but would you ACTUALLY kill a person if they let you in?</p>
<p>^I hope thats not a serious question. It's called a hyperbole for a reason.</p>
<p>^LOL
yeah, if i am going to be accepted, then that should be by my own merits, not by the merits of Ben Franklin (or whoever else they have on larger bills)
i'd prefer to be rejected than to get in based on money/prestige of family...imagine how Chelsea Clinton feels ;)</p>
<p>well, I would love to go to Harvard, but if I have so much money that I can buy my way into harvard, I'd rather use it for some humanitarian projects or something. Contrary to popular beliefs, you can still learn a lot outside of harvard</p>
<p>If I had enough money to go to Harvard I wouldn't NEED to go to Harvard. I'd probably just travel the world and go all Angelina Jolie or something.</p>
<p>If killing people involves death row inmates, then I will kill for harvard</p>
<p>Haha exactly what I was thinking. And no that wasn't a SERIOUS question, I just thought it would be interesting to hear people's responses.</p>
<p>If you had made that much money on your own, Harvard would accept you.</p>
<p>unless, by some awful twist of fate, you were by coincidence given the same first name and last initial of the "heroine" of rand's Atlas Shrugged, i really hate your username.</p>
<p>furthermore, 1. that's not necessarily true, and 2. the general assumption is that it's your parents' money you're using.</p>
<p>^Why? (10 char)</p>
<p>"nothing. if i didn't earn it, i don't want it." You sound as if you've taken Rand's philosophy to heart. Personal responsibility. So why do you "really hate" my username?</p>
