Professor tells Admission I'm a good Canidate. Chances?

<p>I met w/ the creative writing professor at USC and shoed him my poetry book.
He really liked it and told me to mention him in my interview and admission application.</p>

<li><p>How can I use him in my application since he can’t write me a reccomendation (doesn’t know me that well)</p></li>
<li><p>How are my chances w/ admission if he told me to refrence him and attach his email if they need credibility?</p></li>
