It would be really helpful if you could suggest some universities that are gettable for me as I am planning to narrow this list down to 9-10 options. Please suggest Ambitious, Moderate, and Safe universities too. I would mostly prefer Public universities but I have kept few private ones with good ROI and job opportunities like CMU, NYU.
Thanks in advance
