Just make it outright auction. And release the name of student and how much were bid for admission. Seems the fairest route.

- hx8 2y agoThe Universities select for total donations yes, but they also select individuals based on the prestige they are likely to bring the University.

- MisterBastahrd 2y agoEh, I'd go the opposite route. You meet a threshold, you go into a lottery. They can all sit there on selection day where the hopper spits out the names of admitted students one by one.
- Ekaros 2y agoMost admission should be by that route. Set proper threshold and then do lottery. But outright auction for some fraction of admission would be good subsidy for rest. Set minimum at proper level say at least 2-5x normal unsubsidised tuition cost.
