I am from Saudi Arabia and had a BS in Computer Science. My scores & GPA were "lower" than yours and I got admitted back in the year 2007 to "Arizona State University" & "University of Southern California" for MS (I have also got admitted to Dalhousie University in Canada as well).

I have had Indian colleagues in USC who also have lower scores & GPA than yours, and they got accepted. This is not to say it is a guaranteed admission. But USC does have a relatively high admission for MS (+30%?), but much lower admission for PhD (9%?)

USC is an expensive private univesrity, ASU is a public, cheaper university from what I heard. Most of my purchases from Amazon.com were shipped from Phoenix, AZ (close to Tempe, AZ) so that's a motivation for you
