One time I was trying to line up a speaker for an annual college lecture series and I was talking on the phone to David Rockefeller’s secretary. I asked what his honorarium would be and she laughed and said “That’s not necessary. Mr. Rockefeller doesn’t need your money.” I thought about it for a moment and said “Gee, I guess that would be right.”

I think the same could be said about Harvard admissions and applicants seeking aid. No worries. Harvard doesn’t need your money.
