How big is my chance getting this internship

I am a college senior and had a brief experience working with a senior partner in a consulting firm in their NYC office. I would like to work for them full time after graduation and he told me to look for winter internships and get some basic experience in their auditing sector. So I managed to talk to the recruiter at their Boston office who said she's going to phone interview me, and then on location.

I am just wondering how big is the chance I can get the internship? The senior partner said he's going to strongly recommend me but I am just afraid I would fail the interview since I am a foreigner and it's kinda hard to come up with clever words to say in the interview.

Thank you very much for any answers!

It is going to be a huge influence. If you don't know a word, just politely tell the person on the phone. If you are smart and know your shit it will be forgiven that you are not a walking thesaurus.
