The other answerers haven't read your question thoroughly. You are already thinking of applying to Stanford, along with Florida and Minnesota, all of which are better schools in most fields than Carnegie Mellon, and better in many than UT Austin! You mention Ivy League schools which, if you are in Engineering, aren't necessarily the best place to be (they would make a big difference if you were going to a professional school like medicine or law, or if you were getting a degree in history or comparative literature). Actually, now that I look at it, you haven't actually told us what kinds of programs you are applying to - are they actually electrical engineering degrees? Master's or Ph.D? That does make a difference.
Yes, the GRE has a bearing (if you study in the U.S., please end your words with a "g". Unless you are from the Caribbean, it just plain looks uneducated! I know a lot of Indians, and NONE of them speak without the final "g" on words, let alone write that way). I don't know what an 84 pc is, but since you are second in your class (and most Indian classes are large), I can assume the good GRE will just reinforce an otherwise strong record.
You might want to check U.S. News rankings (www.usnews.com). They do list graduate programs, including those in various areas of engineering. They list MIT as #1, Stanford as #2, and UC Berkeley as #3 in electrical engineering. Unfortunately, if you want the rest of the rankings, you have to pay them to view them online (it isn't that expensive, but I don't need the rankings!).
I agree with the others; aim as high as you can go. It will definitely help you in the end.

Aim higher!! Apply at both Carnegie and Austin as well as a few other schools you might like to attend. It can't hurt to apply and see what they say. You have remarkable scores and I think you will be able to attend a top notch school.
