Transfer from one US school to other (International student)

[BrainlessEinstien]

Hello,

I am an international student currently doing my grad studies in Electrical Engineering at Auburn University. I am looking to apply and get transfered to a better school.

below is my profile

BSc in Electrical Engineering (CGPA = 3.52/4)

Research papers = 5 papers in IEEE conferences + 2 journal Papers (submitted)

Two years teaching + research experience + internship in Malaysia (5 months)

IELTS =7

GRE (worst part) = 960 (verbal = 270, quant = 690 and analytical writing 3)

Research Interests: Robotics, embedded systems and Image processing.

Questions:

I need suggestions on where to apply with possible admission + funding ( with my profile). I heard that I can transfer my credits to other schools. Is it possible after first or second semester? Is it possible for me (being already in USA) to apply for Spring 2012.

Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
