would like to express my gratitude to Jared Kushner for reviving interest in my 2006 book, The Price of Admission. I have never met or spoken with him, and it’s rare in this life to find such a selfless benefactor. Of course, I doubt he became Donald Trump’s son-in-law and consigliere merely to boost my lagging sales, but still, I’m thankful.
My book exposed a grubby secret of American higher education: that the rich buy their underachieving children’s way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations. It reported that New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner had pledged $2.5m to Harvard University not long before his son Jared was admitted to the prestigious Ivy League school, which at the time accepted about one of every nine applicants. (Nowadays, it only takes one out of 20.)
I remember when they asked the same thing about Zero.
Oh wait! I don’t!
Has the Guardian published an in-depth expose’ of Obama’s academic records? If not, why not?
Or how OMumbles got into Harvard in the first place?
Yeah, the rumor mill says the big O had his school records sealed because his ID listed him as a foreign student.
This guy spells trouble and has way too much influence ...if they push Bannon out, we’ll know that Trump has sold us out ...
The Obama Party Daughter going there is gonna take up a slot that could have gone to an actual student.
Let’s follow her grades and find out who does her school work for her. Where are the stories releasing her SAT scores?
How does anyone get into harvard ?
Pay the bill. Buy a wing. Renovate a building. The usual.
Before we burn the boy all the way to the ground, remember he may have some Bibi recommendations.
It is tempting to trash him all day, though. Boy has zero concept of ‘electorate’.
In fact, ping me to any KushBash threads you post.
The same way the Kennedys got in ( and how Teddy got readmitted to Harvard after being expelled for cheating ).
Not new. Some well- known USA and Canadian colleges were doing this at least as long ago as the sixties
I know what you mean. But is this story true?
Is “Lunar” less than “Stellar”?
This is news?
All the ivies are pay to play at this level.
SOP.
The kids that dont get in are the white and Asian ones that can only afford straight tuition + dorm fees.
No they didn’t, and likely never will.
However, I learned a lot about young Jared when discovering his personal attorney is Jamie Gorelick. She has also been given the role of ETHICS advisor to Ivanka.
That’s him?!??!
That babe married him??’
Good Lord.
Come on, Affirmative Action. Same with Michelle. But we are not talking about Trump here, just a powerful underling. Who is a life-long liberal Democrat son of convicted felon who has nixed a lot of what was promised to Trump’s voter base. Apparently Jared and Ivanka have intervened to save Planned Parenthood’s funding, etc.
Harvard is primarily for the children of rich, connected people.
Any questions?
I have a nagging suspicion you are right! Bad news, this kid.
