Of your non-UC colleges:

UIUC = always a reach for CS.

UT Austin = always a reach for those without automatic admission (top 6% class rank Texas resident); CS is additionally competitive. Note: uses class rank, not GPA. https://admissions.utexas.edu/explore/freshman-profile

SJSU = reach for CS. If you had applied last year, your CSU eligibility index would have been 4.07 * 800 + 1460 = 4716. The admit threshold for CS last year was 4825 (though software engineering had an admit threshold of 4350, and math and applied math were much less competitive at 3000 to 3250). This year, CSUs will not be using test scores, so you will presumably be competing based on GPA only. https://www.sjsu.edu/admissions/impaction/freshmen-impaction-results/index.php

You may want to add some more lower match, likely, and safety schools, such as UCSC, UCR, UCM, and additional CSUs, unless you are satisfied with starting at community college as your safety plan.
