For CS, to be above average test score wise, you’ll probably want to aim for somewhere north of 1530+ at the top schools, Berkeley, Rice, USC, H Mudd. Probably higher for UCB EECS or UCLA EECS, and CMU and Stanford. Regardless, you’ll want to pull up the SAT at least 50-100 points to be a solid match for the mid-tier UCs as well.

You have a good mix of reaches, matches and safeties. UCSB and Santa Clara and CPSLO also have solid CS programs since it looks like the majority of your choices are in California.
