I understand that there have been scandals where people were buying themselves into prestigious colleges, but in nearly all those cases the students weren’t academically poor just average. What’s interesting about this is that for whatever reason they were admitted, it wasn’t because of money. While very rare it’s not unorthodox to see a few outliers with bad GPAs get into Ivy Leagues. This is because the student most likely showed tremendous accomplishments outside of class (ex: sports, entrepreneurship, leadership, etc.)

I’d like to remind everyone that while being rich is a possibility of how they got in, there may have also been extenuating circumstances for the student such as a death in the family, illness or disability, a rough home life, homelessness, or immigrating from a country where they were really struggling. While I’m not trying to say Harvard is a morally good institution by any means, they do prioritize getting to know students who had extenuating circumstances outside of their GPA. So if a student’s GPA was unfair based on their circumstances, they’ll look more at SATs, extra curriculars, not count a year or two toward their GPA for admissions, or get to know the student outside those numbers. Another thing that can help people get admitted is if they invent something, are an outstanding activist, or have some kind of public notoriety. Take Greta Thunberg, she could be an F student and institutions would be fighting to get her in. In fact she has been on many school strikes so that may well happen when or if she chooses to go to a university. While being rich gives anyone an advantage, more and more colleges are prioritizing diversity both in terms of identities and in terms of backgrounds. It looks better if colleges are admitting more students who have experienced homelessness, etc., in fact a friend of mine got a really great deal for college because of this.

Maybe because I’m still a little bitter about college admissions myself currently, but I really doubt any Ivy League puts as much effort as you’re supposing they do. They get so many applications every year I barely got even an interview from almost any place despite having (In my opinion) a pretty solid set of extracurriculars and academic scores. If they don’t spend time on people like that, why would they spend even more extra effort on anyone else? They just have so many people apply I’m not sure they could even give this consideration if they wanted to.

I also got in with a 3.3 GPA. I had to deal with abusive Asian parents and sexist teachers in high school, on top of depression and multiple suicide attempts. High school wasn’t a great time for me. My parents are not rich, I came from a normal middle class family that lives in a single story 2 bed 1 bath home in the suburbs. I had to get scholarships to attend college. My SAT score was 1320/1600 iirc. I wasn’t an athlete when I entered college.

2.9 was a track athlete just not quite Usain Bolt…..brilliant at math and science but dyslexic so grades looked like a mix of As and C- in anything not math, science or sports…. If your GPA sucks you must have ”something else” and this track athlete was one the the top in the country and was very good at certain academic subjects and unfortunately just weak on the language arts sides of school work.

I go to Cambridge uni and there are also some outliers here but often it’s not “daddy’s money” in these extreme cases (although it happens sometimes with more middling grades) but rather they excel very strongly (I mean VERY strong) in their given major while not doing so well in other subjects reducing their average score or there are circumstances which mean they have struggled with normal education (eg very autistic have a SPLD or struggled with health/poverty/other difficult situation ) but are very very bright
