MS in CS Fall 2017 Profile and Admission Results

[skarannair]

Hi,

 

I am an EE graduate from a new IIT in India.

CGPA: 8.41/10.

GRE: 326 (158(V),168(Q),AWA(4.5)).

TOEFL: 107.

I have 2.5 years of experience in my research interest area in an IT company. I have 2 international IEEE conference papers in my interest area. I had applied for Masters in Computer Science  and I got rejects from UIUC, UW Madison and Maryland College Park. I got an admit from Texas A&M College station.

I am still awaiting my results from Georgia Tech, UMich Ann Arbor, UCSD, UCSB, Purdue, UNC Chapel Hill and UMInn Twin Cities and McGill University. 

I guess the reason for my rejects could be my relatively low CGPA  and experience in an IT company although I have relevant experience and research papers. I hope this post helps someone. Also, where do you think would I have a good shot among the above mentioned universities?

Thanks a lot.
