Specialization??

Go and search on google, get list of top universities in your field.
Go through the list of all of them, see how much they cost?? Whether you can afford them or not?? You like the research there or not etc.

Also projects play a major role in getting admit, so your sop too.

You can get into top 20 to top 80 on the basis of these factors.

Top 10 yup you can get there too but it just depends on your profile.

So, short list your universities and post them here..otherwise you have
chances in 70 universities if you ask me..

AND your GRE score rocks!!

Which college? because 7.5 GPA isn't that high, I have seen people with 9.8 and 9.7. Having said that, 7.5 at IIT would be better than 4.0 at mediocre college.

Seriously, I am also, arguably from a top 15 Indian college. If you were from one of the IITs, they are top 7 !!

In any case, 7.5 may not necessarily be 3.0. In my college, the topper gets around 77-78% so it differs from college to college !!

What's your class rank. That's an important piece of info.

cool_cat,

Seriously, as the others have mentioned, a more valid post would have been if you had done some research with the universities (which I hope you have done by now) and then requested for a evaluation of that list since you are the best evaluator of your complete profile!
