Schools also have an incentive to keep acceptance rate as low as possible as it’s an (extremely bullshit) signal of value.

  Sure, but if we're actually talking about donating a building (maybe I took that too literally?), we're talking about 3 kids a year, tops. It would barely change the 2nd decimal place in an acceptance percentage at a lot of schools.

    Yea but why would they? Their prestige is grounded in the illusion of elite meritocracy.

      Because they don’t want the illusion of meritocracy to be tarnished. It’s better to say 10k students were accepted on merit and an addition 3 building donation students.
