I agree that Harvey Mudd is not a “match”. Neither is Rice.
A 20% admit rate, with 75th percentile M+CR scores above 1500, makes a school a reach for anyone.
Single digit admission rates, with 75th percentile M+CR scores above 1500, makes a school a total crap shoot for anyone.

For CS, UCLA and Michigan may be reaches, too.
Probably none of those schools are safeties for an OOS CS major.



Some of the good grad schools may not have the best undergrad environment or access to those famous profs. They may have huge intro classes and brutal weeding etc. Other colleges that don’t have stratospheric grad depts may still have very good undergrad depts.



I agree. Many other colleges have perfectly good undergraduate CS departments.
Universities that should fall in the OP’s “match” zone include:
Brandeis, Tulane, Wake Forest, Case Western, URochester
(in addition to many state universities such as Virginia Tech)
