It really depends on the country you come from. For example, I’m from eastern europe and only a few students take the SAT. I spoke to a Columbia admission officer, and she assured me that they will not expect students from my country to have excellent schools. Moreover, I have only 2000 (650/700/650), but this was probably the best SAT score in my country last year.
So they really put your score to the context of your country - if you live in the UK, then yes, you have to have good results. If you come from a country with only a few applicants, they understand that you probably haven’t spent the past three years practicing for the SAT :)
