@ankita25 I have a 328 (168/160) in GRE and 112 in toefl with an average score of 3.5 in AWA. my pointer is 6.81 but I have a lot of projects under my belt both during my time in college and office. I have 17 months of relevant work experience in a data analytics company based in Boston. I started off as a data engineer and because of my outstanding work, my profile was upgraded to that of a platform engineer where I provide platform as a service using cloud services like AWS and Google cloud platform. I have a strong resume, SOP and 3 LORs(2 professors, 1 CEO of my company) I had one rough year in the second year where I scored 5.5 and 5.6, but after that all my scores were always better than the previous semester following an upward trend. 7.1,7.2,7.8,7.9 in my last 2 years. keeping all this in mind I have shortlisted a few universities for Ms in CS (ML/AI/Data science track). Ambitious:- UC Davis UC Irvine NCSU UC Boulder Virginia tech Ohio State University Moderately Ambitious:- Stony Brook Rutgers Moderate:- NEU ASU Safe:- SJSU I need one more University here in my safe list my question for you is, can you help me decide a) my second safe University based on my profile b) if you had to remove 2 universities from my ambitious list, which one would you suggest me to not apply to considering that they might be too ambitious for me or their location might not be that great? Thanks!
