I'd heard that seats at Harvard was going for $20 million per piece for internal students who wouldn't remotely qualify otherwise. There are always few seats like these reserved at most universities. If you do the math, that one guy basically covers the cost of his entire class.
- davidmr 10y agoDo you have any citations for this? I'm extremely skeptical. Harvard doesn't need the $20M; they're doing just fine as it is.
- Ivannahack 10y agoThe nature of the problem dictates it can't go on record. I can only add I've heard the same anecdotal from my international students, not necessarily about Harvard but similar higher-tier schools going for $50,000 admission, probably with more fees for a certain GPA. The degrees for cash are sold abroad from what I've gathered. I highly doubt the money goes to Harvard directly-instead it probably pays off the service offering the degree first, with money to admissions directors, professors and whoever else needs to look the other way. It'd be hard to hide huge sums of money in the US system, but possible abroad with in-person or otherwise hidden pay offs to people on the inside in the USA.
