That’s not really relevant. First, this isn’t about what it takes to get into college: it’s about how adcoms would view a 1650. Moreover, a 2090 is at the 2100 point cutoff that people claim ivies use. Also, 2090 isn’t comparable to a 1650.

To be honest, 1650 looks bad- very bad. A few of my peers at my old school (a crappy Middle Eastern public school) got around 1550. These guys neither were native speakers nor were super students (top 10%). They usually got semi-perfect math scores and upper 300 in reading and writing. You’re telling me that a valedictorian at an English-speaking school got only 1650? That’s… unfortunate.
