Sorry, I was quite busy these days and didn't come here for a long time. I think your file is strong except the relatively low GPA. You GRE Verbal is fine since you are applying to science/engineering. Some information about me is the following: GPA: 4.90/5.00, Major in Applied Math, first class honours, graduated in 3 years. GRE general: V 710, Q 800, AW 3.5 GRE math subject: 900/900, Percentile 99%. Honors: President Research Scholar; Full Undergraduate Scholarship. Research Experience: one year research under the President Research Scholarship; Aug 2008 - Present: working as research assistant and in math department. Also, I have worked as a teaching assistant for 3 semesters. Publication: 2 submissions to top journals on optimization (1 is under revision), 1 working paper and 1 proceeding. Reference letters: all from my department. I don't know how important the statement of purpose is... My English, especially the writing, is not good. I think it is tough for international students to get into top universities. So, I am very nervous... Any comments are welcome. Thanks.

Anyone is going to apply for Operation Research? Would you mind sharing your profile? Thanks a lot.
