Dear UCANSEE2,

I doubt that the Kenyan bought his way into Harvard Law School. No need - affirmative action.

As for “buying” oneself into Harvard College for undergraduate studies, it's my understanding that “development cases” start at around $5 million for students that aren't far off from being qualified.

In other words, if you're a level or so below what Harvard would usually accept, and daddy ponies up five million, you may get in.

If you have a 1650 on your SAT and a 2.9 GPA, there is no amount of money that will get you in.

I doubt that the Kenyan bought his way into Harvard Law School. No need - affirmative action.

In a TV interview a few years back, former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton revealed that he was approached by a financial adviser to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal to help pull strings to get Obama into Harvard Law.

I researched this back in early 2008. See my FR page for details
