[lbo-talk] I can get your kid into an Ivy - for $40k

[Charles Turner]

One tactic that I don't think was mentioned in the article (I got tired 
and skimmed the last half) are consultants who plan donations to 
prospective colleges and universtities that their children will 
eventually apply to.

So John or Susie's parents, while they're still in middle school, get 
advice from their college counselor that Princeton's biology lab (for 
example) is relatively underfunded in relation to other university 
projects. The parents become patrons of the lab and Princeton, and when 
admissions time rolls around...

Best, Charles
