Hi Rajesh, Chances are good. Though your CGPA may be slightly below a competitive range it seems you have good profile. Try to add more extracurricular and achievements if you have. Your GRE score is damn good. The sooner you apply, higher the chances of acceptance and also may be scholarship. Try to apply by the first round of deadlines.
