Thank you, Robert.
Say, hypothetically, someone does have the opportunity to be introduced and then land a meeting or phone call with a member of the board / big time donor to the school. How might that person go about asking for their help with the admissions committee?
It is like dating... In order to take the relationship to the next level, you have to continuously get signals from the other side. When you feel that both sides are comfortable, only then you take it to the next level. (Sorry for being so vague. But really, there is no formula behind it. If your interaction with the big time dude has warm feelings from both sides, then you are in a position to ask him for that kind of a push).
