If in case you are considering Canada, please consider waterloo. They have a computer program which is a mixture of math and computer science which would perfect for your profile. Act fast they have a deadline of this 15th

My 2 cents on your profile -> 

Great GRE => Check 
Decent English proficiency => Check
Decent GPA => Check(except for USC which btw are hardcore GPA suckers)


Now,to the best part about your profile.
Your work ex. The candidates you would be competing against are most fresh grad.
If you play your cards right(and by that I mean the Resume and SOP/LOR.Take help of a literary grad if you may)  then you have a great admit is truly a possibility.That is not to say its a sitting duck.You gotta grind.

The three ones that could be very difficult to get in are Northwestern , University of Washington and USC (just because they are such suckers for a above average GPA when it comes to MS in CS/data science)

If I were you I would give all I have to get a Georgia tech admit.
It is one of the biggest and baddest(metaphorically) when it comes to data science.
You should also look into adding Penn state.

You can add northeastern university into your list. Especially the co op program which the university offers is a great unique feature.
