A billionaire's and former President's son? Thats basically guaranteed acceptance by any college, particularly Ivy league or most any other private university.

I know many want to hold them up on a pedestal, particularly now, but let's be honest, they care more about money then most anything else. Accepting someone like Trump's son and cozying up to him is a great way to try to get money added to their endowment. Thats a no brainer admission, even if trump was trump and gave them nothing, it's still a chance at hundreds of thousands or millions added to their endowment, and that chance is more important that some other merit admission that doesn't have rich parents who can give the school money.
