^^ it’s true that he has great ACT with SAT2 scores and also that he is URM. But the devastated GPA with poor AP results will definitely pull him or her back even with explanation to these schools. For lot of schools, GPA and course curriculums out-weighs Standardized testings as well. My guess is it will very hard to get an excuse for GPA lower than 3.0 for these top universities. I think the chance is pretty slim, but I won’t discourage him or her from applying. There may be a chance.
