I appreciate all the feedback- I have only recently decided to go down this path, so you can blame my lack of research for the top heavy list of schools . Will adjust accordingly in the coming months. Thanks!

Would love some feedback on my profile, below - specifically, if I have a legitimate shot at the schools I have listed, or others I should consider. Undergrad Institution: Large state school (ranked between 100 - 120 nationally) Major(s): Economics, Math, Finance GPA: 3.78 Graduate Institution: Large state school (same as above) Major(s): Applied Economics GPA: 3.91 Type of Student: Domestic White Male GRE General Test: V: 157 Q: 169 W: 4 GRE Math: Haven’t taken, but considering it Programs Applying: PhD in Statistics – specifically Bayesian or Probability theory Research Experience: I had some research papers/projects in grad school around data analysis, but I’m not sure of those would fall under this. So I’m going with none, for now Professional Experience: 2 years experience as a Data Analytics consultant for a top 5 consulting firm (current job) . Also interned there for a summer as well Relevant Courser Work: Undergrad: Calculus 3 (A+), Linear Algebra (B), Differential Equations (A), Statistical Data Analysis (A), Theory of Probability (A), Math Stats w/applications (B), Applied Diff Equations II (C+ - The class was geared towards engineering students, which I did not know at the time. I took it as an elective), Real Analysis I (A) Graduate: Statistical Data Management (A), Data Mining (A), Mathematical Economics (A), Advanced Statistical Data Management (A), Advanced Data Mining (A), Econometrics (A), Forecasting Analysis (A) Computing Skills: SQL, SAS, VBA, SPSS, R, Python Considering applying to: Harvard Duke UNC Texas A&M Rice SMU UT (Austin) Michigan Alabama Still early in the process (obviously), so am open to suggestions on other schools to consider Concerns: Mostly lack of research and my being out of school for a bit (graduated 2016), but I'm hoping my professional experience will make up for some of that
