Question about power of persuasion?

Applying to College

<p>Ok, I don't want to sound like I'm too paranoid but here's the situation:</p>

<p>I'm currently a senior in high school and am applying to a very prestigious university. I know one girl who's a freshman there who absolutely hates me. Our families have been very competitive with each other since we were young, and she did everything in high school to try to ruin my reputation. She personally knows one of the music professors very well in the school, and I am afraid that she will persuade him to give a "bad word" for me to the admission directors. Can that happen? Do admission directors take into consideration what they hear about applicants from faculty, even if it has nothing to do with the usual "bad signs" like academic integrity, etc. I would just hate a stupid girl who wants to ruin my chances to do anything that could persuade the board of admissions to reject me. </p>

<p>Your thoughts?</p>

<p>also, I just want to add that I’m not applying as a music major, I’m applying as business</p>

<p>“Ok, I don’t want to sound like I’m too paranoid”</p>

<p>You’re failing at that attempt. </p>

<p>Relax</p>

<p>no, i don’t think so. I’ll admit, i’d be a little paranoid too, but I don’t see why a music teacher would share that with the admissions ppl</p>
