Consider colleges on the following list:
Top 25 Financial Aid Colleges in US for International Students (Need-aware) - Desperate Guide: Undergraduate College Financial Aid, Scholarship
Some of these schools (Williams, Wellesley, Middlebury, Swarthmore, Pomona, Stanford,UPenn, Brown) are too selective for your scores. If your grades are high enough, you may have a shot at some of the others, which are all small liberal arts colleges. Breadth and depth of computer science offerings will vary among these schools.

If you are applying for next year, you need to pay attention to application deadlines.

Computer Science Major at Colorado College

Mathematics and Computer Science Curriculum at Dickinson College

Add Grinnell to your list. They don't look at your writing score. Like Macalester, they are very generous to internationals (and like Macalester, 11% of the student body is international). Should be on the Desperate Guide list that TK mentioned - don't know why they aren't.

Coming from Albania is actually a plus: You are not competing directly against the raft of highly competitive students from India, China, Korea and Nepal. For them, the competition is particularly brutal.

Go to EducationUSA | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America and follow the links to find the contact information for the advising center in Albania. The counselors there will be able to tell you if any student like you has been admitted to an affordable college or university here in the past few years. You do not have to do this on your own. EducationUSA is a not-for-profit organization, and the counselors will give you accurate unbiased information.

You also need to read the information on financial aid for international students in the Financial Aid Forum and in the Internation Students Forum. Look for anything posted by b@r!um who is very knowledgeable about it.

Good luck!
