What are his chances at the top schools (Harvard, Penn, Hopkins, etc.) ?

He can apply anywhere in my opinion. Literally anywhere. He has a good shot at a lot of top 20's.

Your friend is platinum at any school. Start his list with Harvard and WashU.

Apply to any or all of the top 20 (avoid University of Washington and UCSD).

Apply to 2-3 of Hofstra, Rochester, Einstein, and Emory.

Apply to their state schools.

They're in great shape.
