School List Suggestions

What are some safety schools for computer science?

I am a high-achieving sophomore student that lives in Virginia. I would prefer some suggestions that are out of state. Thank you.

Personally, I have been looking at the University of Memphis (Memphis, Tennessee), Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan), and the University of Tennessee Knoxville (Knoxville, Tennessee). I live in Knoxville and have seen the campus and been there many times. They are relatively competitive, but they have some excellent programs. Grand Valley is a school that I have been considering for a long time, and I have virtually toured their campus and programs list. The University of Memphis is an excellent safety school and has a wide variety of excellent programs. Hope this helps!
