So you feel good about being a snitch and getting someone fired. Congrats douchebag.

Again, do you actually feel proud of yourself for being a tattle-tail? God I hated kids like you in school. |
lol, more proof that most people suck.
I guess DBB should have showed up at the admission-seller's office and beat him up for disadvantaging honest kids, right?
Or are you saying we shouldn't care how many students are disenfranchised by others who pay to cheat? |

1. If there is a family legacy
2. If the family has donated to that university
3. The family (or student) will provide a "boost" to the university in one way or another (perhaps not financial, but reputation or image) |
Based on my personal experience this is bang on.
one example comes to mind: My sister tried to get into Harvard and Wharton for 2 years before she gave up. SHe had the grades, the GMAT, the RECOMMENDATIONS (her chairman at her private equity group makes annual contributions to Harvard and he is alum). SHe finally went to Columbia but that is besides the point.
She eventually figured out that she just didn't have the pedigree. Her no-name Canadian University undergrad (U of Ottawa) and the fact that her parents are nobodies and no one in her family had attended those schools really hurt her application.
I had a few students in Japan that attended Wharton and I asked them about how they got in. THey said their GMAT scores were good (not stellar) and they graduated from smaller Japanese universities. However one of them had a grandfather that started a trading company after the War. Well it now turns over hundreds of millions annually and my student was the VP. He got in because of #3 on the list in the previous post. Basically,from the way I see it, the business schools (not sure about the others) don't want people that are 'reaching.' |
