How about adding SJSU and/or Cal Poly SLO? Both do quite well in tech employment.
D16 got a little merit at SCU with higher scores, but it didn’t bring the COA down to $50K. Given the high number of applications for computer engineering, I’d put SCU in the reach category. Similarly, at other schools, admissions for computer engineering or computer science is going to be more difficult than the general admissions stats predict.
