How helpful is it to have a relationship with a member of the board of trustees for admissions?
Or a family member on the board
Thanks
I was told by a fairly senior person I trust at a tippy top school that a relationship like you mentioned can “break a tie,” assuming the person speaks well of the applicant.

Have your board member reach out to the development office. They will give you a better sense. But in general having someone on the board of trustees vouch for you is a big deal. Can really help in many cases.
