Hello ganiki,
most of the schools you listed are good.
May be you should create a list
starting from high risk, medium risk and sure admit by looking at their avg gre score.. I am sure you might have almost started that now. as most deadlines are nearing.
Apply to two or three school in each category I listed.
UC, UF, Rochester .. these are all good schools. and with ur GRE scores it should not be too bad.

personally i am not so fond of florida international .. you have a decent GRE score. have you looked at usc?

nkarthy · 12-04-2008, 03:49 PM

Also, I hope you are giving the same level of importance to your personal statment. That is the only alternate way of a professor to get to know you.
Take care
Some of the universities you listed are also in my list.
