Profile Evaluation - Need Help Deciding Where To Apply

[ragnero]

Here are my stats:

 

University: Ranked top 20

Major: Joint major in Physics and Computer Science

GPA: approximately 3.4 (I transferred, 3.87 at one and 3.2 + at the other)  

Research: 2 years research experience, upcoming publication (not early enough to add on to the applications)

GRE: Q160, V154, 4.0

 

I've applied to three top Universities ranked 30-50 in CS for a MSc, is this the range I can hope to be accepted into? Should I apply to more schools?

If you could get solid recommendation letters I don't see why you shouldn't apply to some 10-30 schools. GRE might be a little low for top 10 but you never know.

Any recommendations on where to apply? I'm currently involved in social informatics and data mining, but I'm really open for anything.

I'm not familiar with those subjects but you should visit individual school websites to see what they're looking for. You could also look at the faculty and see if any professor's specialize in those subjects and e-mail them. If a professor is interested in you that greatly increases your chances.
