[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it does happen. At one top private, every board member gets a free pass for an admit every year. But the board member approaches you if they are willing to sponsor your child. You don't ask the board member.[/quote] LOL. Please don't buy into this person's silly tales. They are trying to get people riled up. Can a board member's influence help? Sometimes. But the kid would have to be in the mix to start with, and generally if the board member doesn't know the child well, the schools will not put a lot of stock in the recommendation. They are very used to people writing extra letters -- every school has a very lovely template for the response to such a recommendation. If it's a board member, the lovely template will come via a handwritten note by the Admissions Director -- but they'll still send it.[/quote]
