They will compare you with the historical data they have from applicants from your country.

In reality, colleges get a ton of applications from all over the world where kids have 2400s. It is a very tough, very competitive pool being an international applicant from Europe and Asia-the most competitive pool I think.

Chances of getting into your list of schools from anywhere with a 1900 are slim. Now if you have an 800 math and 3 800 math/science SAT IIs and have done amazing things in these areas perhaps they would give you a slight break on cr/writing. Buth they won’t overlook scores in the 500s so you’d still need to bring them up.
