DISCLAIMER: I am in no way trying to sound entitled.
So I just found out I actually have an extended family member who used to be a faculty member at an ivy US dental school ( left 2 to 5 years ago to start a practice). I don't know if they were an assistant prof or what (Haven't seen this person since I was a small lad).
Assuming I have the GPA and DAT to match the school's profile, will this special connection help me? I don't know them too personally but I'd love to between now and the time I apply. How much influence could a LOR from them have on my chances of being accepted?
