I asked this in another forum, but I think this may be a better location for this question:
I am about to start my second year in my MA program studying linguistics. I currently have a 3.89 GPA, and am writing a thesis that I think will be helpful for PhD Linguistics programs I am applying for. My top four schools that I will be applying to are: University of California Santa Barbara, University of Hawaii at Manoa, University of Colorado Boulder, and University of Arizona. I took the GRE for entrance into my current program, and received a 152V/143Q. I recently took it again to try to get it higher since I will be applying to these PhD programs, and got a 155V/144Q. Most of these programs do not require an MA for entrance into a PhD program, so I am hoping that my good GPA in a graduate program will help balance out the mediocre GRE scores. My question is, what are my chances of getting into UCSB, Hawaii, UC Boulder and/or U of A with this GPA/GRE combo?
Thank you!!
