You are competitive for all these schools. Princeton and Stanford are lottery schools even for the most qualified students. Columbia is a reach. You have very good chances for the others.

SLO is not a safety since the CS major has around an 8% acceptance rate. It would be a solid Match. I would look for a Safety with a much higher acceptance rate for CS.
