Just a heads-up that Computer Science is a branch of mathematics, and some schools lean into that more than others. There's a lot of theory in addition to the practicalities of writing programs. I'd assess how comfortable you are with math and abstraction, then try to figure out where the schools you're looking at place their emphasis. Since you want work as a programmer, make sure the school offers some software engineering classes in addition to the theory.
