ur profile is pretty good. Its just ur UG tht may hang lead at ur feet. its not low! But something close to 7.9 or 8 (from BITS) would've catapulted u into some big unis...
Anyway, on the above list :-
1-University of texas at austin - very ambitious
2-Arizona State University - safe/moderate
3-University of California - San Diego - mod
4- Pennsylvania State University. - ambitous
5- North Carolina State University - ambitious
6-Texas A & M University - they prefer IIT,NIT,BITS ppl...but only with stellar profiles
7-cornell university - mod/ambitous (i say mod cuz i have seen a few cases like urs getting admits. But generally is ambitious)
8-University of Michigan--Ann arbor - ambitous (ur UG mark will affect here. plus lack of papers/publishing)
9-Virginia TEch - moderate i guess
10-University of Illinois Urbana - Very ambitious
11-University of Florida - safe/moderate
12-Iowa Stare University - safe
13-university of california ,LA - very ambitious
ur next list :-
1.uni wisc madison
2.gatech - moderate (but again 7.4 may be a cat on the wall case)
3.cmu - ambitious
4.oregaon state uni and umass amherst - i would put it at moderate. but they tend to be selective. BUT, they are THE BEST for analog and digital VLSI....i strongly recommend u apply there.
