On-Campus Mock Interview -> Real Interview?

There are a number of companies offering mock interviews at my university next month and I signed up with one of the participating firms. Although its a mock interview, what are the chances of me landing a real interview if I perform well? Have any of you gotten a real interview out of a mock?

Grain of Salt Disclaimer: speculation.

From what I've gathered, networking is what you make out of it. So, "what are the chances...of landing a "real" interview?" The odds of getting an "official" on-the-books interview is directly proportional to what kind of relationship you foster with the mock interviewer. So treat it as if it is a first stage interview that you were lucky to get through school connections. It's what it is.

Build a good rapport, then follow up on it. You can't do anymore, you shouldn't do any less.
