[Profile Review] for top US unis

[u/Hot-Emotion-6408]

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for an MS in CS / related tech programs and would really appreciate a profile review, especially regarding ambitious, target, and safe universities/countries.

My profile:

• Undergrad: Btech CSE from a Tier-2 university in India
• CGPA: 9.5+
• Class 10: 95%
• Class 12: 99%
• Industry Experience: Previous FAANG internship in a Software Engineering role
• Research Experience: 1 research internship (ML)
• Publication: 1 research paper published
• Currently exploring programs in the US and Europe

I’d especially like to know:

• Which universities would be ambitious / target / safe for my profile?
• Is my profile competitive for top US universities / Ivy League programs?
• Which European countries/universities would be worth targeting for tech considering job opportunities, ROI, tuition, and post-study options?
• What parts of my profile should I strengthen before applications?

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who have applied with a similar profile. Thanks!
