Hello, I am international student applying for Computer Science to us colleges like MIT, Cornell, Princeton, UCLA, UCB, UPenn, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, University of Washington, Columbia, NYU and some others.
I am not applying for financial aid.
Tests: Sat 2: Math2 - 800, Physics -780 ; Toefl - 106
GPA ~ 3.94
I am taking the January Sat what score do i need ?
Have some EC , projects , internships and 2 bronze medals minor international math competitions in the national team of my country. Any input will be appreciated !
You really need 1500+ SAT to be competitive, but the admissions rates are so low for all of them nobody on here can really predict. With a strong SAT score, I’d say you have a chance
Thank you for your time !

Not sure why you are bumping. You were given the answer to what you asked. Unlike most foreign countries, US colleges don’t have a strictly numerically-based admissions policy. Scores are important but once you get over a certain threshold (say 1500+) a lot of other factors come into play. No one can tell you what your chances are because no one knows how the rest of your application compares with the foreign applicant pool. Good luck!
I think youre accomplishments out of the classroom make you a very competitive applicant. You will definitely be considered at all of the listed schools, chances are you will get into some of them.
Good luck!

@blakester11 Thank you !
You wrote one sentence about your accomplishments outside of the classroom. I don’t know how someone can make the claims above but since MIT only accepts 3% of international applicants, you should be aware of how competitive it is to get an acceptance letter and how amazing some of the accomplishments of your peers are.
All we can really say is that you are in the running and wish you the best of luck!
