<p>SATs could be better but they are certainly within the range, so no need to worry if your friend doesn't have time to improve them. I think your friend's rank/gpa will appease the SAT scores anyway. The essays/ec's/awards sound like they'll be good boosters for your friend's app. Just make sure your, sorry your friend's, essays really shine and you can count yourself com-pe-ti-tive! Good luck.</p>
