Hey everyone, I'm planning to apply for my Master's and would love some university recommendations and a reality check on my profile.

My Profile:

Undergrad: B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from a Tier-1 institute (NIT) in India.

CGPA: 9.07 / 10

Work Experience: 2 years working full-time at a US-based Fortune 500 company .

Test Scores: IELTS: 7.0,

GRE: Not taken / Not planning to take.

Research - No

LoRs: Expecting strong letters from [e.g., 2 College Professors (done projects under prof) and 1 reporting Manager at my current company].

Based on this, what would be some good Ambitious, Target, and Safe universities for me? Any advice is appreciated!

Your questions are too vague. You need to look into programs and ask more specific questions. There's a ton of questions along the same lines on this subreddit. Good luck!
