Are they telling the truth?

I have a friend waitlisted at northwestern with a pretty shoddy SAT (1100 maybe)

Although his situation is different than most because he is going to be a music preformance major. The guitar professor loved him but northwestern (unlike some schools) looks at grades and stuff as well with the music teachers only having a little input into the actual admissions to the college. While he is an IB diploma hopeful, he has a pretty bad downward trend to his grades…but they didnt flat out reject him.
