Consider Stony Brook and University of Massachusetts - Amherst for low match (maybe safety) level schools with good CS reputations and relatively low costs.

Other schools that may be relatively lower cost include University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State University, and Cal Poly SLO. University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill and University of Virginia may give decent financial aid to out of state students.

Among super-reach-for-everyone schools, there are MIT and Stanford.

What kind of net cost limitations are you looking at? Have you tried the net price calculators at various school web sites? If cost is no object, there are a number of other prominent schools for CS to consider (but most of them are out of state public schools with high out of state list prices and little out of state financial aid).
