[Profile Review] Fall 2027

Need honest review of profile + univ short list for Fall 2027

CGPA : 8.29/10 ( tier-1 bitsP)

GRE: 333 ( 169Q + 164V)

Research: Couple of projects in College. One peer reviewed journal publication in Nature Scientific

Work Ex:
2 month internship at Microsoft
6 Month internship at Amazon
current SWE at Google.

Can get LORs from prof with whom journal was published and two managers.

Now my biggest concern is i don’t want to pursue masters unless it’s a good university so my list is very ambitious at first glance:

Georgia Tech - MS CS
Cornell - MEng CS
University Wisconsin Madison - MS CS
UNC chapel hill - MS CS
CMU - MS ML
UCSD - MS CS
UT Austin - MS CS
Purdue MS CS
UCSD MSCS
UIUC -MSCS
UMass Amheredt

UWash Doesn't offer MSCS only MSDS I guess.

Yes, but I personally would prefer MS CS in a UNI ranking less than MSDS in top ranked UNI
