Notes
To the ETH poster below, I'm the person rejected with the high scores in the GRE and TOEFL. I have a 9.5/10 GPA from a decent university in India (not IIT, but definitely a top central university) in CS, a publication, two other research experiences, a completely ML focused profile with lots of projects and was applying to CS at ETH. It fits every criteria you mentioned. I'm sorry if it's rude, but six rejections will do that to you, especially after all the studying for the GRE it took to get the score that suddenly doesn't matter anymore. 4 out of the other 5 colleges that rejected me were US ones, so even when you say that the scores are a US thing, that doesn't seem true. Not everyone has the resources or infrastructure around them to get published in NIPS or ICLR during undergrad, and that shouldn't preclude them from getting a research masters degree. A PhD, maybe, but definitely not the degree in which you actually learn how to do proper research.
