Hi everyone,

Can you guys please help me out with my chances? My subject is CS and my primary research field has been machine learning. I have done Undergrad.

Undergrad GPA: 3.89/4.0

CS GPA: 4.0

10 Conference Publications, all of them first author, 8 of them single author. Out of these papers, 2 is in conferences with grade A. 3 has been in conferences with grade C. And the rest are also IEEE sponsored conferences.

GRE: Verbal 160, Quant 159

Do you think im good enough for top 20? Im mainly interested about UWisconsin or UI-Urbana Champaign. What are my chances on those. My research strongly matches the professor of these 2 universities.
