College shortlist help

[ComplexRat]

Hello all. I am new here and I am applying to US grad schools for autumn 2025. I am an international student from India and I am a tad bit confused and need a little bit of guidance. I have a M.Sc degree in Biology with 3.0 GPA out of 4 and I was planning to do a PhD in neuroscience or metabolic disorders or somewhat related fields. I had 2 summer internships and have one 6 months thesis wet lab experience in biology. Can you guys tell me what colleges I can aim for, it has been a bit confusing as application fees are high and I want to maximise my chances of getting in. Thank you.
