Dear Friends,
I am new here in the sence that I am posting for the first time. Although I have been reading the forums for about 3 months now.
I applied for the 2014 fall season fora PHD in OB.
Application universities were:
Duke (Rejected)
Harvard (Rejected)
Stanford (Rejected)
Wisconsin school of Business (In review)
Case western university (Rejected)
UM Amherst (Status unknown)
Texus A&M (Status Unknown)
My GRE is quant 145 and verbal 158. I have a GPA of 3.0 in my undergrads and did my masters in human resources in India where I have a GPA of 3.6. I have 1 research award of excellence at my masters level.
Now I come to my deep confusion. I know I have gone wrong with my GPA and haven't done to well on the GRE either. I do have a great work ex having worked at a consultant over 3 years and am working on a paper now with a good faculty member from my masters level institute.
However I am visually impaired and find the GRE quant section very tough. It is to visual and I do not get writers to help me read the section out properly. So I don't know how I could improve this.
Keeping this in mind, what would some of your advice be? Should I apply for another masters in the states. Is that required? Will it help my cause to try for a masters and then go for a PHD after that?
Warm REgards,
Suman.
