That SAT is going to hurt a lot, and there's nothing extraordinary to counteract it. Advise him to retake.

Honestly I would say Rejected at all of them because of SAT. Only exception would be Bowdoin, where I would probably not submit if I were him.

The CR score scares me. 600 is barely above average. It should definitely not be on the transcript of an applicant to MIT or Yale. Everything else is fine. Just tell your friend to readjust his expectations.
