Chances for UT Austin, Rice, and University of Washington [TX resident, 3.37 GPA, top 21% rank; computer science and business; C/O 2026]

Curriculum rigor (no Precalculus and no Calc in particular which would matter at all universities listed, even if you took College Algebra hopefully with an A or B; only Level 2 in Spanish would matter to private universities unless your HS didn’t offer more than these two courses) and GPA make all of these out of reach or big reaches.
Mines, Baylor, and TCU would be reaches but odds would be low.

UTSA has one of the top-ranked Cyber security programs in the US - if you didn’t apply, do so ASAP just in case.

University of Central Arkansas, University of New Mexico, Sam Houston would all be likely if not safeties for cybersecurity and good targets for CS. UHouston, Regis in CO, Loyola in NoLa good targets.

Texas Women’s has a supportive CS program and networks with UNT (which may be a good target too).

Agnes Scott may still be accepting applications and offers a dual degree with Emory (both are supportive and offer Financial Aid).

Depending on budget, there are other states with universities offering Cybersecurity or Applied CS majors to B/B+ students. :+1:
