<p>There is a world outside of GPAs. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. You are not a GPA. Every adcom knows that. I’m not sure what a 90 translates to, but you have a near perfect SAT score and say you have some good ECs. Work on your essays and get some good LoRs and you should have a fine chance. Maybe if you have a reason your grades are ‘sub-par’, your counselor can articulate why that’s the case, but focus on what makes you a strong applicant for these schools.</p>
