Hello everybody,
my updated profile is in this link
( http://www.physicsgre.com/memberlist.php...le&u=10796 )

I contacted some profs as adviced by some of you Smile (thanks for that) and based on their replies, came up with this list:
#Caltech ( liked my profile and also forwarded to some people, but no reply to if I can mention his name on my applictaion)
#Princeton (encouraging, but I am skeptical about my CGPA)
#UCSB
#Yale
#Maryland
#UCLA (encouraging, but very competetive)
#UCSD (enthusiastic)
#Northwestern
#Duke (Indian prof, enthusiastic)
#U Pennsylvania
#Purdue

I will choose 10 at most of these schools to ensure my admission. Based on the replies, and my profile, please rate what is (very)ambitious, feasible, etc.
Thanks Smile

Would that happen to be Professor Bass? He's awesome.

Aw, too bad. Bass is Indian (don't know how he got that last name), and is super enthusiastic. Put on a helmet, sat on a big piece of wood with wheels and used a fire extinguisher to go crashing into a wall to prove to us that rockets really work just by shooting out gas.

By the way, that link isn't working.
