Selection of Universities for Masters in VLSI and Circuit Design

[Pranshu Garg]

Hey!

First of all, the following is my profile:

CPI: 9.63/10 (IIT Kanpur Electrical Engineering)

GRE: 328 (158 V 170 Q 4.0 AWA)

TOEFL: Not given yet (expected score 100+)

One minor and one major project (currently running) with no publications

Intern at Texas Instruments as Analog Design Intern with Placement offer and guaranteed publication if I join the company

Extra-curricular -  A lot with community service and leadership roles, Part of SAE team

I am considering applying to about 10 or 11 universities and am not able to choose which ones to apply to. Any help would be appreciated. I have decided on applying to 5  - Stanford, UCB, GaTech, UTA, and NUS. Apart from these, I am trying to shortlist 5-6 more universities and any help in selecting those would be appreciated. Possible options - CMU, UIUC, UCLA, UMich - Ann Arbor, Princeton, Cornell, ETH Zurich, Purdue, UCSD.

If you are interested in analog/RF I think you should consider UC Berkeley, Columbia, Caltech, UC Irvine, USC and U Washington as well.
