[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it too late to do this for this cycle?

My husband mentioned to a longtime business contact in a business meeting earlier this month that our kid applied to a certain school (T20) where he is a board member (husband didn’t know he was a board member  - it came up in casual convo about kids, application season, how things are going) ….the business acquaintance asked about the application/area of study/offered to talk to kid about school (which we took up last week). It was a great meeting I think. He’s now offered to write a letter to the admissions office in support of our kid.

I think it’s too late. 
My husband doesn’t this so.

This is the way to do it.

One of my husband's closest friends is a board member at a school that's nationally ranked at about #50 (not prestigious enough for many of you, I know, but if DS wanted to go there we'd be pleased). We would never outright ask him. We WOULD tell him if our kid wants to go there. Then it would be up to him whether or not to offer support. Another friend (not super close but solid) is a board member at a school nationally ranked at about #20. That would be tougher...and if DS really had it as his first choice DH may consider reaching out to see if he'd met us for lunch and a casual tour or something (but he would never ask for a letter).
