Also willing to swap SoPs!

A bit confused regarding how detailed I should be at certain places. Took feedback from a couple of people, but still need some more. Let me know if anyone's up for it! Thanks,

Hello, Could someone please evaluate my profile and suggest a couple of things? GRE - 336 [Q: 170, V: 166] TOEFL - 117 [R:29, L:30, S:28, W:30] CGPA - 8.78 [Department topper's CGPA - 9.4] Undergrad Institute - IIIT-Delhi (Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi) Recommendations - Moderate to good, all 3 from professors at my institute. I am actually confused between the fields of specialization, most of my work can be aligned with AI/ML, though i am also considering HCI. I have done 3 research (independent) projects - one on modelling algorithms for distributed systems, one on face recognition with deep learning, another on text analysis (NLP). Research papers - none yet. I might be able to submit one by the coming week, not sure though. Question - Is getting into a plain CS program more difficult than getting into a CS program in a specific track? Chances of getting in the following universities? (Please rank as mod/ambi/drop if possible.) 1. Stanford (I am assuming this would be a dream university for me, should I even consider applying?) 2. CMU 3. GeorgiaTech 4. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 5. Columbia 6. UC Berkeley? 7. USC Viterbi 8. Caltech 9. Cornell 10. UPenn
