Do you have a budget from your parents? Run the Net Price Calculators for the schools you listed. For example, the Rice NPC is here https://financialaid.rice.edu/calculate-my-cost
The California schools will be very expensive.
I’d suggest UT Dallas as a safety. You should receive a very large merit scholarship.
I think you might receive a scholarship plus instate tuition at TAMU.
You might consider Northeastern University.
