@Rakesh
Your profile is good. Try and add value to your current profile to differentiate yourself.
Last time, the adcom went for personal interv. in Chicago. All US admission seekers were asked to come there.
@Rakesh (another one

)
Since you are little short of 5 yrs eligibility reqt., you should talk to adcom once the admission notification is out before applying.
@padfoot
You have good profile.
