>Rich students don't need to game anything. They simply get admitted because their family name is on a building.
The mean parental income for Ivy League students is 170k, which is above middle class, but not Bezos-level rich.
What is considered to be rich is a huge spectrum. The difference between 7 figure rich vs. 9 figure rich..is up to a factor of 1000. Those whose parents can donate enough to be commemorated on a building, is an outlier even for the rich. Unless your parents are dynastically rich, being rich is not that much of an advantage for admissions.
