Your chances, even with all the tactics mentioned above, are zero. EK is extremely stringent on this.

Regarding the UM lounge, some dragons offer this as an alternative and try to sell it up as a good option. Don't take it. You'll be happier at Shake Shack!

It's just one of those things that's better when you're 18 . Don't get your hopes up and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy J!
