“So you actually know of cases where a large donor actually consummated a large donation with the intention of getting their child admitted and their child wasn’t admitted and the donor lost the money?”

I do know of such a case at an Ivy (can’t be more specific for confidentiality purposes) where a good friend is a fund raiser. He told me that the child of a donor of a well known building (named for the donor) was rejected several years ago (again, pardon my being less specific for confidentiality reasons).
