I'm a georgia state university student and already got a MS in computer science. I want to apply 2019 Fall CS phd program. My undergraduate GPA is 3.7/4, and my graduate GPA is 3.63/4. GRE is V152, Q168, AW 3. No publications, no job experience, but I have two years related graduate research assistant experience and graduate TA experience. So what ranking range of CS phd program I could apply? Top 50 to top 90?

What I am about to say may not be the most helpful thing, but I would honestly apply to schools that have research you are interested in, despite their ranking. Apply to about 5-8 schools, ranging from top schools to lower ranked schools, but ranking isn't really what you should fully base your school selections on. Along with your research experience, great GPAs, and  an awesome Quant. GRE score,  I think making you applications as beautified and organized as possible and writing a top-notch statement of purpose and/or personal statement will make you a top applicant. There is no saying of your chances because it seems like that is harder to establish for graduate schools and that's why it is hard to determine safety schools, but get as much advice as you can about your essays and your CV/resume, and do a lot of research on the schools you want to apply to.

I hope this helps in some way! Good luck!

FYI, NC State has a pretty good CS program. I did my undergrad there and Raleigh is a great city and NC State is an awesome school. You should check it out, if you want.
