Yes, I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of applying to the U.K., for a student with such strong stats (but it’s a very different application and due very early).

Both great options (and relatively cheap compared to top US universities, $50K might be slightly optimistic at current exchange rates but Cambridge is only 3 years), especially now Cambridge has an undergrad linguistics degree with both computational and historical papers:
