Request for college recommendations

Hey!

I'm a senior studying internationally and currently applying to a few colleges in the US. Based on the following overview of my stats, could you please list a few good colleges (public/private) that you think would be targets for me as well as some which would offer good merit scholarships? I would be applying to any state schools as an out-of-state student.

Demographics-

- U.S. citizen

- Not first gen

- Major: Computer Science (B.S.)

GPA- My school doesn't calculate but I assume an estimate would be around 3.7

SAT- 1540 (780 Math, 760 R&W)

Extracurriculars-

- Tutored multiple subjects for the past 3 years

- Elected school VP in 9th and 10th grade

- Completed a fair amount of community service

- Took summer courses/certifications in programming, student counseling etc.

- No paid work experience; no club participation

AP/Honors-

My school doesn't offer any but I have tried to take a couple from external institutions

- Algebra honors and English honors in 11th grade

- Currently taking AP CS A in 12th grade but ofc won't be able to give the exam before submitting apps

I've consistently ranked the highest in my class throughout HS and was selected as a semifinalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition.

Would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
