1570 SAT score is always a plus.
Also think of it this way, Yale only has a 1490 SAT average- many people who get into Yale aren’t especially bright. You will be surprised by the number of upper-class straight A students with interesting ECs and decent but not stellar test scores who get into the elite colleges.

So if you (I mean your friend… haha) were to get in, then you wouldn’t be very intimidated by the ‘smartness’ of the student body.

At least I found that to be true for Duke which has around a 1450 average.
