    Dear Akshay,

    Thanks for the compliments about my profile. They are truly very encouraging. Please provide your opinion on my university choices regarding the strengths/weaknesses of my profile using following choices (ambitious/easy to get/ moderate chances/ safe/ unachievable). I truly want to get in any of my mentioned top 10 dream universities but I am not sure whether to apply there or not with this profile or what factors of profile should be improved to get admission there? Will it be better if I apply for MS or PhD is ok? Please also tell which universities are good for scholarships/ RA /TA/ Grants? Please mention admission chances with scholarship availability chances.

    Brief list of my Top 10 dream US universities are as follows.

    12) Ohio State Uni
    13) Virginia Tech
