Hello guys, Here is my profile. Please suggest me some good and safe universities for VLSI GRE 320 (Q=164; V=156; AWA waiting) TOEFL 101 (R=26; L=26; S=25; W=24) B.E in E&C, VTU: 75.3% (1 backlog in 3rd sem-lab) 12th : 87.17% (PCM 94%) 10th : 96.8% Projects : 1 Final year project: Implemented a cipher algorithm on fpga & simulated using matlab and some minor projects Papers : 1 journal in the process of publishing based on the final year project which i did. I had applied for Fall 2014 for the following universities.. I did not receive any admits last year. So i want you guys to suggest me some safe universities this time. I had 313(162,151,3.0) gre last time. 1. ASU 2. USC 3. UTD 4. TAMU CS 5. UCSB 6. UFL I don't know what went wrong last time. Also i want to specify my score in VLSI in my engineering is 65/125. Is this the reason i didn't receive any admits last time? Please suggest some safe universities this time.. I have been working in a small company for the last year, not related to VLSI though. I have been taking a course from IISc on embedded systems hoping the certification will help. I have been thinking of applying to 1. UMTC 2. Cornell 3. NCSU 4. USC 5. UC, Irvine I know they all fall under ambi universities. So suggestions on safe universities will be of great help.
