Do SAT II test really count for alot?

I know colleges like high test scores but if you have say in between a 650 or 700 will it hurt your chances at top schools, not Ivies but very well known privates such as Georgetown or Uchicago, northwestern or nyu. From what i’ve read colleges only use SAT IIs for placement for courses, so are these tests make it or break it or are they just a small part of the equation for the admissions decision? I’m asking this because my friend is freaking out that he will be automatically rejected once they see his low us history and math scores (640 and 680 respectively).
