That depends. Graduate programs? Definitely helpful. If you’re genuinely (i.e. not faking it) interested in the research that particular prof is doing, and especially have already done research in the area, then you’ll have a tremendous advantage for admission. Granted, you’ll still need an excellent GPA and test scores, but you’ll be far more likely to receive admissions, all things being equal, that a person who has not made any inquiries to the prof’s in that department you are applying to.

Nope. You’ve got to follow the whole routine: test scores, writing sample, grades, advanced placement classes, etc.
A professor would not know your capability in the college setting unless you had been enrolled in one of his/her classes previously.
For every person who gets into an Ivy League school, hundreds want to and apply to no avail.

if you are related to this professor, it may help out a bit but u still need the merit. But that goes for any college.

No. A professor is not involved in the admissions decisions. S/he can write you a reference, which may be taken seriously, but it won’t overcome your lack of qualifications otherwise.
