Hi, all,
This might be some kind of unusual application.
I've been out of school for more than 5 years, and been a data analyst for that long.
And I got very low under GPA(2.4) but good MS GPA(3.9).
I'm wondering what my chances would be of getting into a phD program,
or where should I aim based on my profile.
Should I retake my GRE (since only 148 in verbal), or should I take a GRE math subject test even it's not required?
Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks!
Below is my profile
