It’s hard to say because although a slight weakness in english (600-ish scores) would be expected of an international, a score of 470 on your CR suggests that you don’t have a complete grasp of the english language.

Considering that you are applying to an american college that functions using english, low scores may be detrimental for you.

I would say that unless you increase your CR+ writing scores to at least 550+ on each section, you have a very low chance of getting in. 40% of kids who get a 750-ish on mathematics get into some ivy school ( I read about it online). So up those scores, and work on the toefl because it might override a low CR score.
