My son is a sophomore at Harvard and one of his floormates is from Minnesota but she and her family are from Ghana. I think her older siblings also went to Harvard so maybe there is a “Ghana hook” at Harvard (who knows) but I think your dad has to be more realistic about the grades/SAT’s that it takes to get into these super-selective colleges. Not everyone has perfect SAT’s, etc. but if your grades/SAt’s aren’t in the top 1% you definitely need to have other hooks IMHO.
