I see some good suggestion in comments for a change.
If your focus is work and not phd. Just get any cs related course in any college, and linkedIn and leetcode.
People in bay area dont even know all colleges, there are like 550+ universities. Ranking is BS, grades are BS, courses are BS, college name if not berkeley, cmu, cornell are all BS. 
You have 3 years exp, by the time yoy will start working you will have 4 yoe! You will have nice resume (1 page strictly) and focus more on work and not college and garbage stuff and you will get decent calls, make sure you leetcode enough to clear them. 250k awaits you if you do leetcode and linkedIn.

Pro tip - since you have 4 yoe, skip summer internship and focus directly on full time, people go for MS and then get internship and convert it into fulltime and join as sde1, and then cry and spread rumours saying India experience is not counted, because they went through internship way. Internship is college hire and that will give you sde1 roles.
Internship will restart your career, so focus on lateral hire through LinkedIn connections, target sde2 roles.

Resume - make sure your college stuff is at the bottom of resume, you have to sell your scalable work projects and not silly college projects.
Each word in your resume should sell you or else they should not be on resume
Dont add stuff like “worked in a team of 5”, what’s the point?

Each statment should be
What you did, how you did and what impact it made.

All the best.

People will discourage, don't listen to them. "Good University" is a very relative term. I'll be completely honest, with this profile its hard to get into top 300 ranked universities. But you can surely get into top 500 ranked like IITC, UT Arlington. Apart from this, try stevens, UCF, George Mason. There are other universities as well, you have to research. Harder option, is to email supervisors and reach out to them, then you may get an admit. Lastly, write a well crafted SOP, and get strong LORs and hopefully you'll get in.

Appreciate for your suggestion.

You can get a great university because of your practical work experience. People will say all sorts of bs because they are conditioned by an Indian education system centric view that only looks at marks and not much beyond. And i can assume you are going to want to work and not get into research through your masters degree so there are plenty of very good career centered courses you can chose even if the MS in CS won't work out. Just make sure that the university will accept your gpa because typically it needs to be above 7. Maybe not now but you can definitely aim for Spring if you start the application process early

Also do well in your IELTS/TOEFL and get a good SOP and LORs. You'll surely make it to a respectable program!
