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.)

Also one of those kids went to Georgetown and didn't even want to go. She had decent grades but her celebrity parents bought her way in but she wanted to do Tik Tok videos instead. It's outrageous.

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.

Definitely. The more competitive a major is, it's most likely you'll have to work even harder cause they'll probably pick the best of the best candidates. Especially for courses like Medicine, Dentistry and health related courses

Depends on the school too, at the college I’m at you don’t declare a major of any kind when you apply. You can put a projected major, but they won’t take it into consideration, as we can take classes in any school (school meaning school of business, school of communications, college of arts and sciences, etc, all built into my university) and double major/minor in any too. Harvard, yeah that may be important, schools like mine, not so much

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.

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

people with a lower GPA can get into schools with low acceptance rates by owning a successful business, creating something innovative and getting endorsements for it, or showing some extreme skill. a 4.0, 1500 sat, and some ap classes aren't getting you into Harvard, its either money or being extremely intelligence and applying that intelligence into the real world rather than just to your schoolwork.
