Family Friend in London help to get US position?

I'm a sophomore at any ivy league school.

I have a close family friend in Goldman Sachs London doing something in Research (don't really know what). He's probbaly an upper-level associate by now.

I'm looking for an internship after sophomore year. Do you think my friend can get me an interview with the US office in S&T/Research? Or would he only be able to help in London?

not to hijack your thread, but would an MD in GS's PIA area help to get into their IB area? I know he used to be in the IB division, but hes been in PIA for 7 years now, so I'm not sure how in touch he is with them.
