Largely agree with “skieurope,” but I do know first hand of cases that were reconsidered and looked at with extra care because of very influential requests.

I have a more important question:
Is it the right place for him? Does he really want it? We had some applicants applying who were just not the right fit for our programs. Do not get lost in the prestige of the institution.
