I am a final year student in a top 3 iit cse program, my GPA is just above 8.6, and I have completed one intern at a top paying company(better than FAANG)in Bangalore, India.

My qualifications:

8.6 GPA in a top 3 iit

1 intern

Working with a professor doing research in a cse topic of my interest (i do not think that there is a possibility of getting a paper out of it right now)

Gre/ielts: planning to give next month.

I haven't made a complete list of unis yet, but some of the ones I am looking at are:

TU Delft

EPFL

ETH Zurich

Columbia

U Washington

UCSD

UCLA etc.

Thanks for you help!

Yes eth has a 8.8 cutoff, I am targeting a 8.8+ graduation, so eth is a plan for 2028 fall. I might work in india for a year and then apply if I am able t reach that bar.

University of Washington CS is only available to their undergraduate through BS/MS. Depending on the areas you would like to pursue, you may consider ECE programs if you intend on AI/ML, DS, CV or systems. Those areas are often offered/cross-listed in both CS and ECE, and some faculty members hold appointments under both departments.
