Chances of getting a Blackstone summer intership with connection

Hi all,

I'm desperately hoping to land a Blackstone hedge fund solutions summer internship for the Summer 2015. Unfortunately I come from a non target, however still a very selective liberal arts school and only have a 3.4 GPA. However a very close family friend of mine is a senior managing director in the group I am hoping to apply for and would vouch for me. That being said what do you think my chances would be of getting the internship?

Thanks!
