Thanks a lot for ur opinion. It is of gr8 help to me. But if you don't mind can I know the univ you are enrolled at for the PhD program...?? the reason is I wanted to know what approach should I use to be considered for the admission? Do contacting professors the best way to be considered??

I am currently doing my Masters in computer science and want to go for a PhD in computer science in the top 30 universities of USA. I have a GPA of 3.76 and a publication. But I have low GRE score of 1160. Please advise me if I have a good chance on getting in the top 30 schools or should I give the GRE again to get into the top 30 schools.

Any reply is appreciated.
