Thread: profile evaluation

HI,
here are my scores

• gre-1200
• toefl-111
• acads-53%
• 10th-80%
• 12th-85%

Now here are my questions.
how much does a percentage of 53% come up to when converted to gpa?
I am applying for the Masters program in Electrical or Comp engg with a research area in robotics or automation or control hopefully.I have attended many national level tech fest,workshops,internships and participated in many international competitions throughout my four years of engineering.So in a extra curricular way I have many certificates.I have vast knowledge in microcontrollers etc and hands on experience with programming embedded systems.
Here are the list of colleges I am applying for

1. Univsersity of Houston-clearlake -safe bet
2. SUNY new paltz -safe bet
3. fairleigh dickinson -safe bet
4. george mason university -moderate bet
5. northern illinois university -moderate bet
6. texas a&m kingsville -moderate bet
7. rochester institute of technology -ambitious bet
8. university of southeern california -ambitious bet
9. purdue -ambitious bet

What do you guys personally think about this list and what will be my chances of getting admits.Please provide me a feedback and also other colleges that you'll think I have good chances of getting in.Even if the feedback is bad I'll be more than happy to accept it.
Also guys i need three LORs.Do you suggest I take all three from my engg. college itself or take a LOR from the training centre where I completed all my workshops and internships?

really sorry for the long post guys but i felt that this is the best place to clarify and thanks a lot for taking out time and going thru my post.
