Thank you for answering. I was in 63rd percentile in verbal, 85th percentile in quant, 38th percentile in AWA. I had sent my result to these unis: GA Tech, Stanford, chapman and Texas A&M. Also, How can I volunteer for reseach experience amid covid. I have corporate research experiencce in the relevant field, but no academic research exp. How does it affects my candidature as a MS students in above mentioned unis? TIA.

I appeared for test from home edition of GRE and scored 319(Q:165, V:154)+3.5. I am a non native English speaker from India from a very reputed Institute. I have a really mediocre (C)GPA like around 3.2~3.3. Also, I am a non CS student wishing to pursue computational sciences especially machine learning abroad. I have research as well as corporate experience in the ML field. Though, I do not have any publications. I have 5 LoRs(teachers and former employers). TBH, the only thing that makes me insecure about applying is my mediocrity. I mean I was literally the 50th student in a class of 100. I know that's a bad stats but what I should do? Should I appear for GRE again? How shall I make up for my mediocre grads and lack of experience? Should I apply or quit dreaming? If there is anything else, you people need I would be happy to provide it. I need an honest opinion on my profile like a slap on my face. Thanking you all in anticipation.
