| I think that there are some very wealthy kids who get in but don't deserve it. Colleges want to raise their endowment and ensure that those wealthy students will donate as undergrads and as alumni. However, I think the percentage of wealthy kids who don't deserve to get in & do get it is significantly smaller than the amount who get in and do derserve to go that college. If you were a college, you would want kids who are a) going to give back to the college in a financial way and b) going to to make you sound better. Colleges love bragging about successful alums. I think they'll accept whoever they think will make them look good in the future. |
