I want to apply to about 15 universities at about top30 such as from berkeley, stanford, gatech, purdue to UCSB, penn state.
I got bachelor degree from a Chinese university and I am doing master degree in wright state university.
GPA: 80/100 in undergraduate 3.85/4 in master
I have two papers in review. One is in VLDB 2012 and another one is SIGMOD 2012. I am the first author in both of them. I also have one paper accepted in SSDBM 2011 as the second author. Besides, I got some awards in ACM international collegiate programming contest
GRE: 700+800+3.0
I also have a question about whether my resident status can decrease my difficulty of admission because now I am permanent resident of USA. Does it mean I don't need compete to many excellent international student so I will have great chance to enrolled into top tier universities?
Please evaluate my chance to get into these universities.
Thanks a lot!
