It is.
Before AB1780 it something we heavily considered only because we're Asian American and Asian American admissions at top private like Yale and Harvard have fallen after the Supreme Court's AA ruling, while legacy admissions skyrocketed.
Now that AB1780 exists, and will most likely have teeth in the next 30 years, there's no reason to partake in that zero sum game anymore.

It comes out to top Bay Area private school tuition for 2 kids over a 16-20 year timeline.
- stanford_labrat 2y agoapologize for the tangent but my cousin and her husband (both asian american, both harvard alumni) chose to move back to our hometown in Seattle so they could send their kids to lakeside, the same school bill gates went to. i assume to increase their chances of getting into harvard. back of the envelope math works out to be $715k for their 5-12 education which may be more bang for your buck but also the college entrance strategy is not so much based on donor contribution and more on target school selection.
