That TOEFL score might be your biggest problem. Places with a minimum of 100 won't even consider your application -- you might want to make sure that none of the places you're applying have a minimum > 97.

Yup my TOEFL is not that good either. Checking again for the minimum for all grad school mostly its (20/20/20/20 80) as i remember.

After going through the forums i feel i don't have a shot at top 50 college considering my no background,bad grads and no research.

What college below 50 should i try to ensure a admit? ( coz i dont want to end up getting all rejects and give a retry)

If i get an admit Will the degree be fetch me a job good enough?( in compare to the effort and money i put in, as i am a international applicant.)

Plzzz help me out

Thanks

Colorado is hardly a new department. You could do a lot worse.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Columbia; perhaps Florida is on the table.
