Thanks ! I have four recommendations (one from India, three from US), all are well known researchers. In my SOP I have mentioned my area of interest and the background that I have in terms of research and certifications. I have also mentioned the Profs whose work and research interest me. So what do you think now ?

Thank you ! The reason for me applying to only small number of schools is that I only applied to schools which gave me TOEFL waiver for having done MS from US. I didn't want to give TOEFL in Fall 2012 as I was completing my thesis at that time and didn't have one whole day to waste on TOEFL. About retaking GRE: I will definitely do that but only if I don't get admit from any school. Thanks again.

Hello All, I completed MS in computer science from University of Texas at Dallas with GPA: 3.97. I did B-Tech from Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology with GPA: 7.90/10. I have two publications and I have worked in the position of Asst. Prof. for an year. I have four recommendations (one from India, Three from US), all are well known researchers. My GRE score is low: (Verbal: 610 Quants: 730 AWA: 3.0) I have applied to CALTECH, UC Berkeley, U of Michigan, U of Chicago, JHU for CS PhD program. So, what do you guys think about my chances, should I write GRE again? I have a decent job offer but I am interested in first completing PhD and if I have very slim chance of getting into any of the mentioned schools then I will grab the offer. Please give me suggestions. Thank you !

Hello All, I completed MS from University of Texas at Dallas with GPA: 3.97. I had distinction in my undergrad also, but my GRE score is: Verbal: 610 Quants: 730 AWA: 3.0 I applied to CALTECH, UC Berkeley, U of Michigan, U of Chicago, JHU. I am quite worried now about my school selection as people are telling me that I have very low probability of getting into any one of the mentioned schools. Does anyone have an idea of what my chances might be to get into one of the mentioned schools? Thank you. Regards
