My view: unless other top schools follow along, the donation will immediately and uniquely make Einstein interesting to top applicants who never otherwise would have considered it. The prospect of top students makes it more interesting to potential research staff, and the combination of top students and staff makes it more interesting for foundations and capital. Einstein right now is a circa top 50 medical school. Were there a futures market for this, I would bet in 10 years it will be top 25.
