Do people with low GPAs and high SATs have a shot at admission to top colleges, like BC or Brown? Like, someone with a 3.6-7 W and a 2200 w/ 2 4’s and a 5 on AP tests, and an upward trend? (National awards as well)

Someone called it a “red flag,” but some say its good so… I don’t know where that leaves the issue. I’m asking because my friend had this and got into NYU, BU, UCSB and Notre Dame. (she wouldn’t lie) So I’m kind of confused.
