Yeah. People often complain that connections get jobs, but a big problem is showing others that you can do the job. If someone has already vetted them, it makes the selection process easier.

    I was able to advance academics twice through convincing convincing people that I was more than my bad grades.

    First was me convincing another highschool to accept me and let me skip a year after I almost failed my first year in high school.

    Second was applying for my current university, with decent grades, but needing scholarship.

    Both times I spoke with people in charge of making those decisions through online interviews and managed to convince them to take chances on me
