<p>To be honest, an 1990 coming from someone who had to work, attended a mediocre high school, and could only take the SAT once is more impressive than a 2350 from someone whose parents could afford SAT prep classes and who has always attended competitive schools, regardless of race (it just so happens that I’ve noticed many Asians’ income is >160,000). Numbers don’t define a person, there is so much more to their application.</p>
<p>Just work with what you have, don’t write generic essays, and hope for the best.</p>
