<p>If 2 million isn’t enough to get in as a development candidate, then how is it that so many children of celebrities are getting into HYP? Are they all brilliant? All of Gore’s children (like 6?) went to Harvard, Katie Couric’s daughter’s at Yale, Giuliani’s daughter is at Harvard, etc.,etc. Is it the celebrity angle? </p>

<p>The so-called consultant apparently suggested that direct donation would be frowned upon due to racism against Asians, but I find that unlikely.</p>

<p>It’s always comical when wealthy dim bulbs think they can use their money to influence or even corrupt a process that is often unpredictable. Reminds me of the Virginia Lottery case back in the 1980s when a group of foreign investors/speculators thought they had purchased every conceivable numerical combination for their lottery tickets. Sure, they ended up having the winning numbers…but so did more than a few ordinary folks. As I recall the investors ended up with a profit about a hundred bucks or so each. Not worth the risk, really.</p>
