   Take that million dollars and put it in a high interest bearing account and BUY your own Business School. Then bribe the editors of U.S. News and World Reports so that they rank your school higher than NYU and Wharton. We all know that US News is arbitrary anyways and they always rank Harvard, Yale and Princeton at the top because they went there.

   It would be more common to contribute that amount to assure your child a spot in the school. If you have a million dollars to give away, you don’t need an MBA. Unless you are just wanting an Honorary Degree, which is usually a Doctorate, morally and ethically, bribing a school to discard their entrance standards is reprehensible. Would you also expect them to ignore their academic standards (which at Warton are pretty high) so that you could pass.? In my opinion -since you asked for it –there are a lot of places where your million dollar contribution could do some real good in the world. Feeding starving children comes to mind.

   If you had a million to toss away, there’s really no need for a MBA. Business doesn’t require a degree. Bill Gates is a college dropout (albeit Harvard).

   At least with law and the NYU plan, you need a law degree to become a lawyer. Still, you have to pass the bar. If you’re a complete moron (or whoever it is that needs to donate money to get in), they might not be able to pass the bar so that law degree won’t be very useful.

   It is either “The Wharton School of Business” or “The Wharton School” — but not “The Wharton School of Finance.”

   They have plenty of money. However, giving them lots more might get you in. But if you have that kind of money, why do you need to get in?

   Sure, isn’t that what business all about?
