Yes, of course OP. We had a super rich friend on the board of an elite school and they put in a word for our child.

Sounds interesting. Which all-girls’ school is this?

My child will have an advantage because dc is a legacy and I have given a significant amount of money to the school. This is entirely independent from my friendship with this person.
