well, with your GPA, you should try to give shot at top 20 schools.  with strong recommendations and good GRE, you should be able to get into one of those schools.  however, you are applying for spring semester, so i am not sure abotu those schools as most of such schools does nt consider or provide assistantship in spring semester.  the best idea is to go to usnews.com and do some research on schools.  good luck.
