If you can get that SAT up to about 1300 I think these could work:

Reach/low reach:
Davidson - half an hour from Charlotte
Tulane - New Orleans
U of Richmond
Wake Forest - Winston-Salem

Match range:
Rhodes - Memphis
SMU - Dallas
U of Miami
TCU - Fort Worth

Safeties:
College of Charleston
Rutgers
TCNJ

Belmont - Nashville

If you wanted to go out west:

Reach:
USC
Reed - Portland
Pitzer - an hour (?) from LA

Match:
Pepperdine - Near LA
Santa Clara
U of Arizona
Arizona State

Safety:
U of San Diego
San Diego State

I chose private schools because, assuming you are not rich, you can usually get pretty decent financial aid, often making them cheaper than paying OOS prices at state schools. I added U of A and ASU as examples. Run NPC to check if these schools are affordable.
