    well arun, ur ug mark is a little low. and since ur applying for EE dept, ur work exp wont help much...IEEE papers definitely add value.

    Among the unis u've told, u stand decent chances in the last 2. Kansas may be a little tough.

    Your gre is fine...and a higher gre would make it only slightly easier....cuz a gre is NO way a measure of engineering ability. Its just10th std maths and good English.

    Whoa! That's a low awa...retake ur gre...analytic writing is a measure of how cohesive ur thinking is. It gives importance on how well u analyse facts and present ur findings - very important traits as engineers/researchers....take ur gre again.
