[alextogradschool]

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.
