Wealthy Jewish families reject Ivy League for ‘Plan B’ schools

If you want to improve your kid s chances of getting into an elite university  and you can afford it  it certainly doesn t hurt to start donating major cash to the school as early as possible.

But some wealthy Jewish families who have done just that at schools like Harvard and Columbia, sometimes beginning when their children were in first grade, are now writing it off as a loss.

Following an explosion of pro-Palestine rallies and anti-Israel sentiment in the Ivy League, some families of high-school seniors are crossing the schools off their application lists.

They re not paying a single dollar more to the schools, college admissions consultant Christopher Rim told The Post. They don t want to be associated with these schools. They are totally out.

Rim, who is the founder of Command Education, said people are changing their minds last minute in this application cycle.

It s top of mind for the current seniors, Rim said. They re asking to edit and refine their college lists now.
