Which CSU is best for me?

Since your residency is Dallas, TX, I see how UCs would be too expensive. However, CSUs may not be the most favorable for you, since they don’t factor in grade deflation, they just multiply GPA and test score (with a formula).
If you want California, holistic admission colleges such as LMU and Chapman may be a good solution, and colleges like Pitzer or Occidental may not be out of reach since you have excellent course rigor and your school seems to have major grade deflation (7 Subject tests with high scores does not correlate with a 3.2 - what’s your class rank?)
Why not Cal Poly SLO, since it takes into account other factors than the typical CSU formula? URedlands or St Mary’s of CA are both similar in selectivity to CSUs and you’d probably get merit money for your scores.
