My family donated a building to Yale. How much does that help?

<p>Hey! I'm new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone had any past experiences with admission for applicants who had a family member recently donate a building.</p>

<p>Why don’t you just have your family ask their buddy - Jeffrey B. - for his thoughts ?</p>

3

<p>what are you talking about?</p>

4

<p>Fail ■■■■■ is fail.</p>

<p>If it is your stepgrandfather’s once removed second cousin’s, brother-in-law’s aunt’s goddaughter’s nephew’s, adopted uncle’s grandmother’s third husband’s relative-probably not much love from Yale.
If you can document a more direct relationship-go for it.</p>

6

<p>super fail ■■■■■. give it up. one building is not enough for yale.</p>

7

<p>No it’s a direct relationship… but I don’t want to get my hopes up to high. Do you know of any stats showing admission rates for large donors?</p>

8

<p>^ If your honestly asking questions like this, then your NOT Yale material. Go away</p>

9

<p>You have zero chance because if indeed you were a development admit, you’d already know your fate. You’re obviously not.</p>

10

<p>Direct relation to someone who donated a building to Yale is going to help you a lot.
Haha, funny thread.</p>

11

<p>Ok I see I’ve made a bad impression here! I meant to ask if using the “donate a building” card a common thing among Yale applicants.</p>

12

<p>Yes, many Yale applicants donate buildings. That’s why Yale has so many buildings. </p>

<p>/sigh</p>

13

<p>ahahahaha, this is hilarious.</p>

14

<p>Maybe send in a few hotels from your monopoly set. That ought to impress them!</p>

15

<p>One building? Auto reject. The average admitted student’s family has donated five.</p>

16

<p>They’re actually going to rename the school PVSheehan University. I wonder if that will get you in?</p>

17

<p>Just answer the OP and let the thread die.</p>

<p>Yes, OP it will help, but it doesn’t mean you’ll get it with horrendous grades.</p>

18

<p>Thank you driscol, atleast someone here can be helpful to the original poster’s question instead of basically laughing in his/her face.</p>

<p>“They’re actually going to rename the school PVSheehan University. I wonder if that will get you in?”</p>

<p>hahhahahahahhahahahha</p>

<p>“Yes, OP it will help, but it doesn’t mean you’ll get it with horrendous grades.”</p>

<p>Yes, it does, actually. Unless the person fails out of high school and fails his/her SATs. It’s all relative, though. But just for reference, a person with a 2.7 and 1600 SATs would still get in.</p>

<p>Maybe you can let us know your stats (SAT, GPA, EC) so we can help chance you with this into consideration?</p>
