I know these schools are comparatively quite selective, but I think you definitely should apply to USC, Cornell, and Rice and see what happens. The great thing about these three schools is that they all promise to meet 100% of your financial need and they all have great CS programs. Your GPA and test scores are perfect matches. If your parents make under 100k then you can expect your efc to be right around the range your parents have told you they can likely contribute (or better), which makes all of these affordable.

I really want to urge you to shoot for some reach schools. A few extra $60 application fees will pale in comparison to finding the perfect school (cost, strength, prestige, etc.). Your safeties seem to be appropriate as well. Good luck!
