I would aim for $70K and no you are not at that much of a disadvantage. Software is one of those things where you can build up a portfolio of things you’ve worked on not only in class but outside of it as well. If you show that you have some programming skills and interest in the field by contributing to some open source program, writing clever applications, etc. you will be leagues beyond the guy who goes to a top 10 school but doesn’t care.
