Legacy

<p>True, Hazmat. I wasn't saying that the money didn't help those of top stat, but I was speaking independent of that in terms of admission based on the applicant's credentials.</p>

<p>What you gotta ask yourself is.......if you produce a legacy heir....would you give $$$ and pay for your own? Are you willing to pay to keep the name of your alma mater strong??</p>

<p>Well to be honest I'd rather raise a damn smart child who could get admitted without external factors like money. That, more than anything, would "keep the name strong" for me.</p>

<p>Let me rephrase the question.....would you if capable, pay for someone other than your own legacy to attend Penn? It may be too early to ask you this for I know you have not yet had the experience. I definitely plan to pay for "other" to attend my previous school and Penn....it has been an amazing experience for me at both institutions and i hope to allow someone who could not otherwise attend because of funding to have their 4 years. I believe strongly in giving the opportunity forward.</p>

<p>Well I can't speak for that at the moment as my funding issue is still up in the air, but if I had the money I would not mind paying for another as long as that money was supporting people of merit, that's all.</p>

<p>My goal right now is to get wealthy enough to buy a house and donate it to the band... free housing would be nice, wouldn't it?</p>

<p>Legendofmax.....you can designate your contributions as you wish. Some folks designate very specifically. Good luck with your funding.....I am sure this will all work out.</p>

<p>I hope so as well. I think it'll be alright.</p>

<p>muppetcoat: Yeah that would be pretty cool, hehe. I love the idea of donating... I'd need the money first of course :P</p>
