Hey there,
Thanks for the post all that juicy information! Super helpful! The short of it is the school list you're looking at is a good one. UCLA, Tepper, Emory, and UNC are your stretch schools. A 710 lets you play there but might not be enough to close the deal. As you go lower into the USC and Maryland range, you're definitely in play for some money!
That said, I wanted to talk about your IR score. At a reach school, it could sink your application IF you don't address it elsewhere in your application. I'd PREFER that you retake the test - when we tell people the IR doesn't matter yet, it's when they score a 3 or 4 or 5. Not a 1. That's...a red flag. If a retake is out of the question, make sure the themes and skills the IR section tests for are found throughout your application so the adcoms have no questions in their minds left that you are capable and strong in this area and the test might have just tripped you up.
Goals wise, where you're headed makes sense at a high level. I like that you're trying to stay in Technology - so many people are trying to get OUT that staying in actually sets you apart a bit!
So definitely work on that story because schools that consider giving you money will only do so if they really feel like you'll be a perfect fit!
I hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions or I need to clarify anything!

Bhavik,
Thank you for the evaluation and the tips related to IR and interest in tech.I had two last questions for you.Out of My stretch schools UCLA, Tepper, Emory, and UNC which two would you think are closer in reach for me.I spent a lot of time but could not reach a conclusion.You might have a better and informed idea i think.
And secondly and lastly,this is my list of safe schools which i will be picking from as i brainstorm more.Does it look okay?Anything that might be "reach" in here as well?Please be very candid and look at them like "quite safe" instead of just safe.I will have good essays and recommendations i hope,so judge accordingly.
Georgia Tech: Scheller
Pennsylvania State Univ: Smeal
BYU : Marriott
Kelley : Indiana
USC Marshall
Tippie
Smith
Eller
Katz
WP carey
Purdue Krannert
UIUC
Mays
PS:Kelley is "reach-ish" i know,right?
Thank you again for all your help!Hope to get back to you with great news consistent with your evaluations in an year!
Regards,
Ralph
