[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It happens. Of course, you are burning some bridges with the person who went to bat for your kid. [/quote] Why would it be a burned bridge? Anyone in the world understands that sometimes another school is the better option for a kid.[/quote] If another school is a better option, you DO NOT ask a connection for help. Your friend/relative is using their influence to help your kid. They don’t do this for just casual acquaintances. People with these sorts of connections only do this for relatives or very close friends. By declining, you are making them look foolish to their colleagues or contemporaries. Also, the next time they try to help someone out their “good word” will not have as much pull with the admissions office. OP, don’t use the connection unless your kid will 100% go. [/quote]
