Hello,

 

I would like to enter a computer science course in a good university in the US. Preferably UCSD artificial intelligence course or Georgia Tech AI course etc.

I gave the GRE today for the first time (yes it is a bit late. I was delaying it because of fear mostly) and turns out focusing only on Verbal prep back-fired. I got 166 in verbal section and 163 in quant. I saw the average GRE score of engineering admission in these universities is a lot higher than this score. (164,167) and while my CGPA is not bad (8.77/10 from a good univ) I don't have any research paper. I do have some projects and 2 years work experience.

Does this seem like an impossible ambition now? Should retake the GRE to at least have a chance? 

If it is a hopeless case regardless of GRE score, which universities should I apply to for masters in AI? Any suggestions will be immensely helpful!
