I would hardly count a 2090 as a low score…
Sure, it’s not among the 75 percentile for Ivy applicants, but it’s still in a good range. If SAT were letter grades I would say 2000-2290 would be an A, and 2300-2400 would be an A+. I don’t think that something like that would really hurt a well rounded applicant. While it may not be absolutely above and beyond, a 2090 still a good score.
Overachieving CC kids have really skewed ideas on this kind of thing…
The kind of numbers this thread is focused on, based on the OP, is more along the 1600 range.

Congrats on your sister, though!! (:
