like I previously said... Ivy Leagues don't want some "fabricated" individual who just wants to impress them. They look for the entire person.

Don't worry about being perfect. The process is so competitive that it's all about making an impression. Work on your essays and interview.

90 average, I believe that is a bit low.

You seem like a pretty average candidate compared to other kids going for an ivy league. Write some good essays...
