[Chances for MS in EE?]

Hi there,

I'm applying to MS in electrical engineering for Fall 2013. Wondering if any of you guys could let me know my chances (apps are all in basically, just want some idea of what to expect).

Undergrad School: Duke University

Major: Dual in ECE and BME

GPA: 3.873/4.0

GRE: 170 Quant, 164 Verbal, 4.5 Writing

No relevant research experience, but I think my LOCs are fairly strong.

Schools I applied to: Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, USC, UMich, UIUC, CMU, Duke

Thanks everyone!
