special circumstance for interview

<p>I really want to to to Northeastern but it is a reach
3.2 GPA at top school in state
1800 SAT
lots of good extracurriculars dont feel like listing
both parents attended
mom used to work there many years ago</p>

<p>anyways to get the point, my family knows someone there and i got an email inviting me to interview with an admissions member.</p>

<p>if i do well how much can this help me and what are my chances?</p>
