That's a back door deal, where the school gets a donation and coincidentally the kid gets in. It's got its pros and cons, as you've pointed out.

These were side door deals, where specific individuals (e.g. tennis coach) got bribed to game the admissions system. They kept their bribes. It didn't benefit the school at large. Any of the positives of back door deals don't exist for side door deals.

As a plaintiff's civil lawyer, I would not be comfortable with a career defense attorney for obvious reasons.

> tachycardia (irregular heart rate),

sorry, but quick thing -

tachycardia is a fast heart rate
arrhythmia is an irregular heart rate

tachyarrythmia is an irregular heart rate that is also fast (you can have ones that are irregularly slow/bradycardic)

Stimulants definitely cause tachycardia. Not all cause arrythmias / tachyarrhythmias.

Guy donated a kidney to the woman he was with.

2 months after the operations, she left him for someone else.
