This is a decision that requires careful consideration. Although it seems to be a shortcut to have acquaintances who can help, I suggest you consider the following points： 1. Postgraduate education requires specific academic competence and preparation, and test-free admission may make you face challenges in subsequent courses. 2. If you are really interested in the project and have corresponding abilities, applying through formal channels can better prove your strength 3. Requesting this kind of special help may have a negative impact on your relationship with the professor and may also affect your future academic reputation 4. Many institutions have strict admissions policies, and even if the professor intends to help, it may violate school regulations. If you are indeed interested in the project, you may wish to discuss your academic background and interests with this professor, and ask for suggestions for formal application, rather than requesting special treatment.
