Not too high if you’re an international student. For the SAT, definitely aim for 1550+ for the schools you’re looking at.

I’d say that you have very slim chances at all of the above schools, from a combination of your SAT being on the low end for them, in their CS programs, even for a domestic applicant, and then whne compounded with the fact that you’re international, your chances only get slimmer.
Cornell, UCB
I think you’re possible here, but your SAT will still hurt you as an international. Maybe your ECs can carry you in, but it’s unsure. I’d still lean against acceptance here.
UCLA,University of Washington, NYU
I think you could get into these, especially UW. It’s still tough though, not a sure thing for any of them.
I’d add a few more safeties to your list, because a lot of these schools are nigh-impossible to get into as an international student, even with perfect everything.
Would you mind chancing me back?
