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.

Scores are going up! Of course, I went to school in 1997.
