DS is a high stat senior who has fallen in love with a certain ivy equivalent school with a single digit acceptance rate. He's got grades within their range and test scores at the 75th percentile, average ECs, and no real hooks. I've got a friend who made an 8 figure donation and is pretty actively involved in the school. He'll write a great letter if I ask him but I'm afraid it might offend the adcoms more than it would help. Then again, DS needs every edge he can get. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
