I would say he need to raise his math score, above a 30 for his ACT and a 650 for his SAT, to at least be competitive. This year after the auto admissions closed and the rest of the spots were put on holistic review, it became really competitive. Two of my good friends were denied, and they were top 10%. They also had below 650 math scores though. It just seemed to be a pattern of the people who got in had over a 650 math score on their SAT.
