Hi everyone,
I have been really worried about school selection for next year's application cycle since I have a few hiccups in my transcript (I had to retake a CS class -- not related to my research interests, and 2Ws from non-CS courses). I would really appreciate your evaluation!
Undergrad Institution: high-ranked liberal arts school in New York state. Major(s): Computer Science GPA: 3.91 (overall and major) -- see the problems above.
Type of Student: female Asian student
Research Interests: Natural Language Processing, Computational Social Science GRE General Test: not yet taken.
Programs Applying: Information Science and Computer Science (wherever Info Sci is not offered)
Research Experience: (At your school or elsewhere? What field? How much time? Any publications or conference talks etc...)
REU in NLP at UT Austin. I've been working online there for over a year now because I really like the project. Our work will probably be submitted late November this year.
REU in computer network at my home institution for 3 months. I have one paper published from this REU (co-first author with 3 other students) in a relatively good conference.
Internship at the Data Science center of my home institution with a Math professor for over 2 years. I took my independent study and Data Analysis class with him.
Relevant Coursework: NLP (audited at another uni), Recommender Systems (independent study), Data Analysis, Probability, Algorithms, Computer System, Human-Computer Interaction.

Letters of Recommendation:
UT Austin REU prof.
Computer network prof at my school
Math prof at my school
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: I have been really worried about my transcript.
Applying to Where:
Cornell
University of Washington
UT Austin
UChicago
Georgia Tech
UC Berkeley
What do you guys think? Is there any school that may fit my range?
