For top universities, a "safe" score is usually 320+ (out of 340). If you want admission in Ivy League or top engineering colleges, try for 325+. For average universities, a score of 310 is also good.

Dear, In case you are targeting CS programs a score of 318+ (160+ in quant) will get you into good universities. However, your acads and other criteria will also play a major role. For other programs 310+ is a good score.
