A friend's parents are faculty members of a med school. Is this a "connection" of mine?

[viralhiker]

I just realized that both of my college roommate's parents are faculty members of a certain medical school. One of which may be on the admissions committee, but I am unsure of this. One secondary question asks "If you have connections to ---- School of Medicine, please explain." Should I disclose this relationship? If so, what is the best way to go about that?

Not a connection and no benefit to disclose.

No

I wouldn’t worry about mentioning it. If your roommates parents are involved with admissions they will likely recuse themselves from deliberations about your application if it comes to that.

No.

It's not, and no.
