Hi there, my primary concern is whether or not the donor is smart enough. is there anyway that I can be assured that the donor comes from Harvard/MIT/Stanford etc. or is there any IQ test result available for selection purposes? Many thanks.

    Hi L -

    We cannot disclose which university a donor currently attends or has graduated from and we do not administer IQ tests.

    However, there are a number of donor information items that can help you find a donor that fits what you're looking for.

    First, it's important to identify what your definition of "smart" is. Are you looking for a math superstar who has perfect test scores, and don't mind if English is not his first language. Are you looking for a donor who not only performs well on tests, but also has a high GPA, suggesting he also has a good work ethic and is goal-oriented? Or are you looking for a donor who has impeccable grammar and is capable of great intellectual conversation?

    Here's what you can use to find your ideal donor:

    1) If you're looking for a donor with a specific major or degree, like Donor 14447 who is pursuing his PhD in theoretical physics; you can use our Donor Search and filter by "Education Level" and "Areas of Study".

    2) If you are looking for a donor with a certain GPA, test scores, acceptance into honor societies, and/or academic awards, you should look at page 4 on the Extended Donor Profile. (You should be able to easily find the GPA and test scores needed to be considered for admission to the universities you listed above on the websites for those schools.)

    3) If you are looking for a donor with great writing skills, check out his Personal Donor Essay.

    4) If you are looking for a very articulate donor with great verbal communication skills, you should listen to his Donor Conversation.

    5) The Staff Impressions may also provide insight on the donor's strengths. And although the content of the Express Yourself will vary from donor to donor, you may learn information about the donor that will help you make your decision.

    Please don't hesitate to contact our Client Services team at 866-927-9622 with any questions. We're happy to help you find your ideal donor!

    Regards,
