<p>To be honest, since you’re international, it’ll depend a lot on whether you need financial aid.</p>

3

<p>Sorry, but with those SAT scores and your international status, it’s unlikely that you’ll get into those schools.</p>

<p>Cornell: Almost impossible
UCB: Almost impossible/High Reach
Caltech: Almost impossible
UT Austin: High Reach</p>

<p>I don’t need financial aid.</p>

<p>Thanks for answering. Still need more answers .</p>

6

<p>A higher SAT score would be better i guess.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, see if you can retake the SAT. Work on your Reading, since that’s probably the most important of the three.</p>

<p>The issue isn’t financial aid. The issue is your scores; they are very low for schools like Cornell, Caltech and UCB. The average accepted int. students’ scores at these schools are 2100-2200, and 2200+ for schools like Caltech and Cornell.</p>

<p>You won’t be able to receive any aid at UC’s anyway (they don’t offer), so that doesn’t matter.</p>
