Salary And Employment Outlook

My highschool GPA was around 3.1-3.2 so i'm gonna end up having to go to a school with around a 75-70% acceptance rate. My goal is to get Bachelor of Science in computer science and code on the side while i'm in school, so that i can get employed from the getgo.

My issue is, i know there are alot of top grads going to places like Google, Facebook etc at 22 and coding for them with starting salaries around 120k or so. But with my level of education if i get a good GPA would i still be viable to be above the 100k mark for starting salary? Or does the name of the school really deter you that much?

Ideally i'm just gonna check out indeed for what is hiring around my city and will apply to the most high paying jobs for entry level workers. But is there any reason i won't start out around this? Would appreciate honestly as i'm 21 and i just want to maximize my earnings as i'm going to school 3 years late..
