I think you could have  tried  to atleast 2 top schools.  

Though ur overall gpa might be a problem, u have internships from IIM-A and good gre and stellar LORs (i hope   ).  I would have quoted  majore GPA  too if i where you. Research exp will be def helpful to boost ur chances. If you had prepared impressive sop, u might have a chance at top schools.

Funding might be a problem for the first sem atleast.

Damn GPA ... neways I have finished all my applications and awaiting results .. lets see if I get in somewhere !!

btw what bout u ? whr all have u applied to ?

[rev IT]

it's good to know there are civil engineers(especially structural) on this site. lots of EEs and BMEs drown out the posts under engineering. it's been frustrating to feel lonely here.

btw i think GREs are not very useful for engineering since we all get above 780 in quants. i suspect it comes down to LORs and GPAs.

There has been a lack of civil engineering discussion on this board, I hope this thread will band everyone together! to the poster, I think you have an excellent chance of getting admission from all the schools you mentioned. hopefully schools can send out results faster, like Northwestern USC or UIUC!
