<p>OK so my app is long done and sent, but I just realized something randomly...</p>
<p>One one question in Part One of the app, it asks if you know anyone who works at Columbia. I think. At least that is my recollection.</p>
<p>I left it blank but my Aunt is on the graduate admissions committee..</p>
<p>What exactly is the significance of that question? I know it is too late but i just want to know...</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>won't any difference at all, might be too late.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it would help, but it's definitely too late to make any editions to your application.</p>
<p>I know it is without a doubt too late to change it, I was just wondering what the question is there for in the first place... thanks though</p>
<p>It won't make a difference. If your aunt is connected enough / important enough, she can make a phone call. And even, it still won't make a difference.</p>
<p>What the heck is "the graduate admissions committee"? There are like 20 different grad/prof schools.</p>
