I think ur profile is decent.
Purdue would be tough to get into
so is georgia tech..I guess pretty hard

2. North Carolina State University........ok
4. University of South Carolina........ok
6. johns hopkins........................I think no application fee in cs
7. SUNY(sb & buffalo)........ok
8. iowa state univ........ok
9. U texas, dalla........ok

I think u should be a little more ambitious.
Try some mid rank school more
and some top ranked also

I will digress from bohemian.

NCSU is extremely tough with your profile and so is SUNYSB and georgia tech....

IOWA state and UTD are reasonable tough....

I had similar profile like yours (better in some) and I had 5 yrs of hardcore experience in industry and I was rejected by colleges of similar level.

NJIT would be too easy though.

Choose 2-3 from the above list and go for some more average ranked ones.
