Beyond the lottery, any way to improve the chance of getting in?

 

Our daughter is a perfect fit, GT, Straight A's, organized, self motivated. Is there a way to improve the odds of getting in?

 

Thanks

Pictures of your daughter would certainly help

She is 11, so at least not an 8 year old.

But really if anyone does have any insight or a contact to talk to I'd appreciate it.

The question is more how to structure and to whom the donation needs to go to ensure acceptance. Currently seems to be a random lottery for anyone who applies that makes C's and above. I'd think they would want a straight A student who excels in several sports and is in GT.

Yes a humblebrag, but my daughter is the type of person I would hate if she wasn't my daughter.

She'll do great regardless but the open learning is very suited for her organizational skills. If I can make it happen I'd like to do what I can to ensure acceptance.

Give them a huge donation. Quid pro quo

That's good to know. Sounds like it's going to be pure luck.
