Not a problem if your comments are positive.
I guess I tell this story every year. My sibling works at a university health clinic. In a secondary prompt about the characteristics of an ideal physician, a student wrote about having a wound sutured at the health clinic and mentioned my sibling by name. Now, we do not have the same last name anymore and there would be no way the applicant knew my sib's connection to the adcom at a school 900 miles away but there it was and it tickled me. I pointed it out to the Dean of Admissions given that I now had a conflict of interest but it in no way hurt the candidate's chances of being admitted.
And it bears repeating as an illustration of how small the medical world can be.
Especially in the DO world!
