<p>I have 1720 total score on my SAT. Can I get into a US college?</p>

2

<p>Anywhere? Yes
Good schools:top 50? No. If you need aid, zero. </p>

3

<p>What’s your budget (what can you afford to pay, in dollars, per year)?
What are your grades - are you among the best in your country? in your school? Do you have a national or international prize in something (music, sport, chess, science…?)
Are you a sophomore, junior, senior?
Do you have academic fields of interest?</p>

<p>You can definitely get into a decent university with that SAT score! That is an above average SAT score! Be proud of yourself! If you have decent high school grades, good ECs, some letters of recommendation - I think you will be set! College acceptances are not that intimidating! </p>

jyana: let me guess, you’re in high school and have no idea what the process entails for internationals who need financial aid, right?

So, can you pay?
whether you pay or not, top tiers are out of reach unless you have some internationally awards.

Agree with MYOS and Paul.^^^^^^
For those schools that actually have some financial aid, the OP’s score is too low. The student can get in to some LAC’s but its gonna cost him.
