<p>What do you mean by “buy your way in”? If you don’t qualify for financial aid, of course, you’ll have to find another way to pay the tuition and fees. It’s not like you have to pay extra to bribe the admissions committee or anything to let you in. If you can’t afford to pay (with aid, savings, scholarships, loans, etc), then you can’t go.</p>
