Looking unis for STEM
Define “average stats”
Also, do you need financial aid?
All these things are relevant and necessary in order to give useful suggestions.

IBDP: 41/45 (predicted grade)
SAT: 1295
Yes good financial aid is must or else impossible to manage fees
Subject: Computer Science with Co-op program
Your SAT is on the low side for CS applicants to US colleges. CS is a very popular major right now. As I said before, you will easily find places that will give you a little bit of aid, but the colleges you are likely to get into with that SAT score are not likely to cover enough of the cost to make it feasible for you to attend.
Is it possible to attend college in your own country and do a semester abroad in the US?
The second issue is with respect to financial aid for international (non-US citizens) students.
Your search should start with Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. www.grinnell.edu
Grinnell College has about 1,700 students (46% male/ 54% female). Wealthy school & beautiful campus. Isolated in rural Iowa--a farming state with some of the best public high schools in the US.
Lots of international students percentage wise (about 20%).
Overall, your SAT score is on the low end for Grinnell College, but your math score is fine although not outstanding.
Biggest hurdle for you will be finding colleges & universities which offer financial aid to international applicants.
If you are willing to work to improve your SAT score, then consider retaking the SAT. Otherwise take Math II SAT subject test. You will need a score of at least 760, in my opinion.
