I don’t think you’d get in, just because of your SAT. However, it’s still possible, I’m not entirely sure what’s weighted more in the transfer process. But, for some schools that are easier to get in to, and have great CS, you might want to look at UIUC, UT-Austin, Georgia Tech, or U washington. Good luck.

As you surely know, your weak SAT is killing your chances, and computer science is competitive enough as it is. You really ought to retake it if you want to transfer, or consider other schools with good computer science programs, like @Plumbus recommended.

I am not sure if that SAT score is good enough for the other schools @Plumbus has mentioned. It may be for Transfer students…Please check on that.
