Fall 2018 | MS | CS | G.R.E 320+ | GPA 7 | TOEFL 110+ | Mumbai University

Hello,

I'm aiming for Fall 2018, Master's in CS with specialization in Machine Learning. I know that my GPA isn't great, and so I'd like to evaluate my options before attempting GRE (exp. 320 +) and TOEFL (exp ~110), both of which are scheduled for September end. I have good rapport with the professors and decent SOP/LORs.

Following are my achievements/skills :

1. 3 month internship in data analytics and analysis.
2. A paper published through IEEE funded conference.
3. A couple of papers in National Journal
4. A Machine Learning project, with a provisional patent for the same.
5. Conducted a couple of workshop on Machine Learning, Web development in various colleges.
6. Good programming skills.
7. Great experience with *nix Operating Systems. Built and modified a FreeBSD kernel to optimize memory and scheduling.

I'm thinking about applying for the following universities, and would like to know which of them would be really plausible, and how they rank with regards to my profile:

* University of Maryland Country Park (Dream)
* Georgia Tech (Dream)
* University of Chicago
* North Carolina State University (Dream)
* Ohio State University (Dream)
* Arizona State University
* SJSU
* NEU Boston
* University of Florida
* PennState Uni
* University of Minnesota TC

Thanks for reading and helping me out!
