Suggestions for Mediocre EECS Grad Schools

[ComputerVision]

Hello everyone. I am applying for PhD (Fall 2016) and my profile is:

 

Undergrad GPA: Average

MS GPA: ~ 3.9

GRE: 154(verbal) + 158(quant). Awaiting AW

 

Conference Papers: 3 as first author, 3 as co-author

Journal Papers: Co-author of 4

 

Experience: More than 3 years

 

With this profile, I think I cannot get in any top schools. Can any of you suggest some EECS schools which are 'average', where I have some realistic chances of admission? Or some programs which have a relatively large intake? 

 

If you can evaluate my profile, that will be a big help as well.

 

Thank you.

 

Cheers.

Fall 2016 deadlines are long gone. I think you can apply only for Fall 2017. Post the question closer to September next year to get a better response from the community.

I don't know how it works for EE but for ChemE, there are still a LOT of schools that are still accepting applications for Fall 2016. 

Hmmm I don't think your application profile is terrible, but with all top schools there's also a decreased chance of getting in. What area in particular are you looking to move to? Do you have EE rankings for graduate programs? A quick google search should help. I'd say if you're really aiming low try no school within the top 40 to 50. The poster about me is right in that a lot of deadlines have long passed.

Merry Christmas and best luck to you on your applications.

Several EE programs of European uni's are still open (deadlines range from March - July).
