Will my African American buddy get in?

<p>Personally I think he will get in b/c of his extracurriculars and grades, I think they'll give him grievance on his ACT score(1260 is not that bad), my cousin has a friend(he's black) who got in with 1220 SAT with the same credentials as your friend so tell him to be hopeful. Plus he(your friend) comes from a single-parent household and he's a URM, which are heavily recruited by the ivies. I read that in some internet article that ivies are willing to exchange good grades for good test scores when it comes to URMs so tell him to be optimistic!</p>

<p>GO BIG GREEN!!</p>
