Question regarding relatives

<p>I have a relative that currently attends a top Liberal Arts College. He works in the admissions office, and has some pretty good connections. He says when I apply, he'll put a good word in for me. We aren't sure though whether or not he should mention we are related. Would it be better for him to say that I'm a good fit for the college, AND that we are related, or just leave the relationship out of it?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
