    Hi
    Dude your acads are a big drawback to you. You should go for some work-ex and try to improve your percentage in the last year.
    You have everything else pretty decent, just make up for acads thru some work-ex. Below 60% is really difficult to get in.
    Pennsylvania State University- University Park -dream
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - dream
    Texas A & M University - College Station -dream
    University of Minnesota - Twin Cities -dream
    Virginia Tech -dream
    Arizona State University - dream/upper moderate
    Columbia University - dream
    Johns Hopkins University -
    North Carolina State University -dream
    Ohio State University -dream
    Northwestern University -dream
    University of Florida -dream
    University of Pennsylvania -dream
    Brown University -dream
    Duke University -dream
    University of Arizona -don't know
    University of Virginia -moderate
    University of California -Davis -dream
    University of maryland-college park -dream
    University of southern california -dream

    But for your knowledge, some of the safe's you could apply to would be: University of Utah, University of Rochester, Colorado state University,Florida State university

    Moderate- other two
    You can target best schools for Telecommunication with this profile as per me.
    Upenn for Tcom is also well within reach.
    You may try UMCP for ENTS as well(really good)

    Hi
    Sorry for late reply.
    I don't think 70 percentile constraint (seeing the past admits) will be an issue considering an overall profile. Yes, work-ex not of telecom certainly reduces chances a bit but still I would recommend you to apply to the stream in which you want to pursue further studies only. In SOP, try and link your job experience with the desired field. Also, mention reason for change of stream.
    Regards
