Are you sure all the above colleges are good in AI??? I dont think Cincinati, Utah have good research in AI.

If all are good in AI then you are in all except maybe - UTAH, Rutgers, ASU.

Univ of Iowa has some good AI research. I know 2 proffs. here who work on AI.

BTW, is it possible to give GRE again? Your profile is good except that GRE and Toefl scores. If you can give then give it again and try to get something between 1350-1450 and you will have even better chance.

I am not sure which colleges are good for AI (i am a database guy so know about databases ) but I will suggest that you dont apply to ASU and SDSU. They are really not worth. Even Rolla is not good. Utah is good!
