I agree.
@user_623058, in addition to Rutgers NB I would suggest NJIT (I believe you’ll get in) and Stevens (decent shot) if you can afford it. These two might not meet your parent’s prestige bar but they both have very good placement outcomes for their CS grads.
IMO the C- in Calc will be an eliminator at MIT, Princeton and CMU, all of which have a strong math component in their curriculum and whose successful applicants typically have strong math backgrounds. So you may want to take those off the list and focus on other schools. It takes a lot of effort to write great supplemental essays so it helps to focus on fewer super-reach schools.
