    Your GRE score is too less in correspondence to most of the universities that you have selected. And plus since you have no published papers or research work, your chances to top 15-20 universities are almost nil. You can try for NCSU though, fair chance. AWA must be 4 and above for top 50 universities. Try for the following, safe bets:

    University at Buffalo--SUNY
    Syracuse University
    University of Texas--Dallas (Jonsson)
    University of California--Irvine (Samueli)
    Arizona State University (Fulton) - somewhat doubtful
    University of Minnesota--Twin Cities

    Please dont listen to a bunch of amateurs in this site.
    Gre score is just one parameter in admission and not the sole factor.You have an excellent GPA.GET good LOR"S and write a good SOP.That will be a boost to your profile.

    Ambitious
