I pretty much agree with AOII Angel. SOMETHING has to stand out, whether it be your MCAT score, your GPA (science AND cumulative), etc. The average MCAT score is around a 31-32 now, and I would say he needs at least that to feel confident in his chances. I personally had just "average" MCAT scores, but I also had above a 3.8 GPA and a TON of extracurricular activites, both medical and non-medical. I interviewed at in-state schools only, but that's because I wanted to stay in state, and we have a LOT of medical schools here.

As for reference materials, he should get the MSAR.
