CS Phd. Looking for a group of universities/colleges

<p>Hey!
My name is Raul and I write because I would like to know a group of colleges that would fit me. I have seen a lot of them, and that has tied me a bit. Then I found this forum and I saw the opportunity to get some help.</p>

<p>I am currently studying a Master Degree in Computer Science in Madrid, Spain, so my goal is to pursue the Phd (mayor Computer Science) at the United States.
My average mark is 7.1/10 in my grade system. Rackham Graduate School at UMich has calculated for me that this corresponds to a 3.1 GPA. This average has been the first one between October 2008 and October 2009 (the period I finished my bachelor) out of the total people graduated (What i mean is that I think that in US is not a impressive mark, but in my university it is). I am currently preparing the TOEFL exam and I figure that I could get about 95-100 points. I am also about to publish a research work.</p>

<p>With these profile, could you tell me some colleges that could fit me?
I know that I need to search for my specific research field, but I would like to get a general view first.
Thank you very much!</p>

<p>What do you think about?

  • U Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
  • U Michigan Ann Arbor
  • Georgia Tech
  • U North Carolina at Chapel Hill
  • UC Berkeley (What about another campus in the UC system?)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
