<p>We don’t know Blackroses, nor the context of the conversation. Perhaps the “board member” knows enough of Blackroses to consider him/her a good fit and a likely candidate in other ways, as long as the test scores show up… and either (s)he misunderstood, or the “board member” was puffing up a bit.</p>
<p>OTOH, if this turns out to be a case of connections getting someone in without qualifications… how long do you think the someone will last at Mudd? :)</p>
<p>Blackroses, this does seem like a sort of obtuse post to make on a forum where/when so many Mudd applicants are biting their nails and waiting for April 1.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone.</p>
