Hi,
I am a final undergraduate student of computer science and wish to apply for a PhD in US in Fall 2013 in the field of Data Mining/Machine Learning.
Cummulative GPA: 8.76/10
GRE : 316 (Q:164, V:152, AWA: 4)
TOEFL: 111 (R-27, L-28, S-28, W-28)
Done three research internships.
International Publications: 2 journal papers, 2 conference papers and 1 poster. (Excluding 1 journal paper and 1 conference paper under review).
I have good letters of recommendations and a decent resume (which includes good performances in high school and International Maths Olympiad)
Though my GRE score is quite less, I believe that I have a nice research background and so I am trying for a university in top 20-25.
I have made a list of universities:
1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. UIUC
4. University of Texas, Austin
5 University of San Diego
6. UCLA
7. Columbia University
8. UCI
9. USC
10 Brown university
I want to filter this list into 7 and then add 2 safe universities.
Can someone please comment on my selections and suggest changes?
