Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

A family friend is a professor at one of the schools I will be applying to. I've known them for most of my life, but never had any professional interaction with them - only personal. For this reason, I don't want to ask them to write me a letter of recommendation because I don't feel they would be able to best answer those questions. However, there's no where on the app to list this person - they only ask if direct family are alumni of the school.
Does anyone have any recommendations on if/how I should list this? I considered just putting a line or two about it in the 'additional info' essay for lack of anywhere more suitable. I know this is a bit of a unique situation, but the professor said he would be glad for me to list him on the app, and my thought is it can only help.

Is there a class with this professor that you want to take? Did this professor influence your decision to apply to the school? If knowing him has no bearing on your story finding a way to work his name into your app may seem forced and be conveyed as name dropping. Why does simply knowing this professor matter?

Well faculty should want quality students as much as the admissions department. Therefore, his opinion should be of some value. However, not being a boss or co-worker, much of the more professional experience based questions for standard recommendations would not apply.
