Can you buy your way into an Ivy League university?

[Jibbs]

Because a guy I knew, who came from a really wealthy family, I saw his grades one time from the school he had attended before. And his GPA total for four years was around a 3.0 . And they hadn't improved junior and senior years, they were around a 3.0 consistently throughout all four years. So I figured he either had really good test scores or paid his way into it. Am I wrong about this?
He did four years undergraduate, this is what I'm talking about the 3.0 . Then, he got into Harvard grad school.

well i am sure at some points who your parents know and who they are might play into something. but i think money can really buy you anything! look at a ton of movie stars. .and think that should say something about buying your way into anything.
sorry

The rich prefer to call it an endowment.

The only way you can go through an Ivy is if you buy your way through. It's not the size of your brain, it's your wallet.
