Maybe the kid of some ASML exec gets to go to Harvard?

Who knows. In the last batch of negotiations they never made the deal public. These deals get made by elites and the public never learns the details.

FWIW this is not a very common ambition people have here in NL. Besides the implied blatant corruption, which I don't think is the case here, I strongly doubt you can bribe any Dutch executive with something as uncool as a bought Harvard admission.

Harvard could be the safety school if the kid doesn't get into Delft or Eindhoven.
