trf, the reason why Columbia all of the sudden thinks a kid you know is a top choice is probably because the kid IS a top choice in some way from Columbia’s standpoint and has nothing to do with a reputation change for your high school. Or the kid is lying. Or the kid misinterpreted a letter from Columbia to be a likely letter. One way or another, your application isn’t likely to be affected by his/hers.
