<p>There was one thread where a black girl with a 3.7ish GPA, a 2400 SAT score, and virtually no EC’s (she was on science team, won no awards, was not captain, etc.) was accepted at every top school, including Harvard. So by virtue of SAT score and affirmative action, your sister’s friend has a very good chance since she is infinitely more qualified than that other applicant.</p>
