Yeah, any connection is worth mentioning. My great-grandmother went, and my great-aunt taught in the philosophy department at Columbia for almost thirty years (I had her write a rec), and I got in with relatively mediocre stats.

I think that no connection helps so much as conveying that you really, really want to be there, though.

Good luck!
