please suggest me some universities.

Hi..
My GRE is 1310(V-590, Q-720,AWA-2.5) and IELTS -6.5 (l-6.5,R-5.5, W-6.5, S-7) with ACADEMICS-70% in Electrical Engineering.
I would Prefer to take VLSI (Electrical)..
So please suggest me a few universities in the list below which are good in vlsi and also funding opportunities...
Newyork University--Binghamton
weatern michigan university
sanjose state university
university of nerbaska --- lincoln
university of new mexico
university of missouri-- coloumbia
university of idaho
iowa state university
north carolina state university
university of iowa

please suggest me some universities among these .... Thanks

funding is very low in US these days. they are either given by lower tier unis or to students with very good profiles. But u cna manage aid once u reach there.

among ur lot, UMC and iowa state are decent for vlsi. NCSU is EXCELLANT for embedded, but very tough to get in. ur acads may hurt u there...i'd suggest u try oregon state (one of the best fro analog vlsi), u mass amherst (best in digital vlsi), u cincinatti, ohio state, ASU (pretty good)...i'd suggest u check with maximus199 for better idea on embedded and vlsi unis.

but oregon state university is highly selective...
which is gud for vlsi (Iowa state or uni of iowa)???
