I think one premise of this article is flawed. The days of donating to get preferential treatment are over. The DEI/HR crowd have taken over admissions offices.

I know someone who graduated from a prestigious private University and donated A LOT over the years - like buildings have his name on them. Both of his straight A, high ACT scoring kids were denied.

At Georgia Tech (public) I know a few young people that have been perfect students with nearly perfect ACT/ACT scores that were denied - all with alumni parents that donated.

It’s almost like the admissions crowd is punishing generational success in academics.
