    wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    you might probably have a chance in any of the universities you apply provided you have strong recommendation letters and a very good sop.


    cmu(the best in computer science)-ambitious(prob gre 325+)
    stanford-(same as above)
    cornell-can try

    few univ which i can suggest are:

    university of minnesota(twin cities)-among top 5 in cse
    texas austin
    univeristy of illinois-urbaba champaign(probab ambitious)
    university of maryland college park
    texas A&M university-college station(safe)
    university of california los angeles
    university of michigan-ann arbor(can try)
    university of southern california

    if you can try and get around 328 to 330 next time you take gre you might have a better chance but even with your current score you can still get admits in any univeristy you apply.

    try and search for your similar profiles in ******.com
