“College grads are aware of all this; most HS students are not. For someone to cite donation rates as implying anything other than how aggressively the school chooses to pursue donations should be a red flag for any HS student looking for helpful advice.”

If you actually knew anything about fundraising, you’d know colleges reserve their real hard sales for the large donors during the galas for big time drives (here’ some insight : undergrads manning the phones don’t care or push hard for a donation - they are just calling as a job). If you don’t care about your school to give a single dollar, that should speak volumes to how much you cared or enjoyed the experience. Often, students won’t hesitate to donate money on behalf of their major’s department or some on-campus club they were involved with.
