<p>I'm a Computer Science Major at SUNY Buffalo.
My overall GPA is 3.54
Computer Science GPA 3.62
GRE - 1480 = V - 700 and Q - 780
I've also done undergraduate research(independent study) on Assistive Technologies and Data Mining.
I have 1 good and 1 excellent Letters Of Recommendation.

I'm am thinking about applying to Computer Science programs (database systems or data mining) of Cornell,Columbia,Texas A&M,UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR and California Berkley.I know that I am aiming high, and my GPA is not that great, but do I have a chance in these schools.</p>

<p>The application process for Computer Science PhDs is EXTREMELY competitive at top schools. You need a very clear focus for your future research, ideally at least one publication, as well as strong recommendations.</p>
