Is a $500,000 donation enough to secure a spot at Harvard Med?

<p>Sosomenza - you’re very naive. $500,000 is a drop in the bucket to a school of this nature. </p>

<p>And if a family has the kind of money where $5,000,000 is pocket change enough that they can spend it the way you and I might spend $5 at Starbucks, then they don’t NEED to have their sons / daughters hack away at med school for a living, Harvard or otherwise. Heck of a lot easier ways to stay wealthy than by attending medical school and becoming a doctor.</p>
