re [1]: While I do understand why they are willing to shell out tens of millions for good spots for undergrad, it also makes me ask: Why not just let them to to wherever they can get, on their own accord, and then just help them to land whatever jobs they can. Surely, if you're the kid of Shaw, you: A) Are driven and disciplined enough to get into some Top 20 school on your own - especially with all the private tutoring and what not. B) Will be able to land whatever prestigious white-collar job through connections. And from there, getting accepted to some prestigious B-School is a lot easier. Sure, I understand that they want to minimize risks because they value education - but I also have a feeling that it comes down to bragging rights. But still...you can do a LOT for that kind of money.
