Fkd Hirevue but Strong Refferal?

As the title says, I fucked up a Hirevue for a top BB in which I have a considerably strong referral for (MD, top group). I go to a target and the firm recruits pretty heavily out of my school. I wouldn't say it was the worst of the worst, but it definitely could have been improved upon (ran over the time multiple times and had to cut my answer somewhat shortly). 

I don't have a problem with speaking and, from a narrative-building/rhetoric perspective, it went well. However, the content was questionable and I hoped to talk about more tangible experiences / get to the point faster. I've read all over this website that the analysts/associates who review these videos barely watch them and just check to see if they could speak well and wasn't a dunce. 

So, with said referral in mind, how cooked am I?
