morgan stanley md referral

I'm wondering how far an md referral gets you in the morgan stanley application process? I'm assuming it gets you a first round interview but than it is on you to perform in interviews and superdays. However I've heard different things from different people and don't know what to think.

At my semi target school all it does is help get you a first round.. But MD's are very hard to reach and aren't worth the time, the analysts are actually more close to the process and choose phone screens
