Please suggest some universities for me.
GPA: 3.5-3.7 (Top university in a third world country, but relatively unknown outside)
GRE: 329 (170Q, 159V)
Work exp: 1+ year experience as a Research Engineer
Internships: 1 (Software Engineering)
Publications: None (will be working on it)
LORs: 1-2 From work (good) and 1-2 from Professors (possibly sub-par or generic at worst)
Some extracurriculars
I will be applying for MSCS (Thesis) programs in Machine learning, NLP/Computational Linguistics. Some colleges I am looking into:
Ambitious: GATech, Ohio state University, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Florida
Moderate: UT Dallas, Oregon state university, University of Colorado - Boulder
Safe: I'm not sure what's safe given my profile. I'm not even sure if above classifications are right.
I'm also looking at some colleges in Europe (Saarland, Stuttgart) but I prefer US.
Thank you.
