Does it help or hurt to have a family friend who is an Alumni of a west coast elite private university call the Admissions Office and put in a “good word” for an applicant during the month the university is making decisions, interview already completed, etc. Is this even done? This question is referring to an applicant who has turned everything in, had an interview, etc. and is awaiting a decision. Its not a family legacy, but a family friend.
