Obviously, or perhaps superficially, mathematics is not necessarily the best undergraduate major to have when applying to graduate programs for Rhetoric and Communications. However, this is a disciplines I strongly wish to pursue.
My GPA is 3.54 cumulative, which isn't bad for a math major, with a non major GPA of about 3.8
My GRE General test scores are Q: 770 V: 700 AW: 4.5
I have letters of recommendation from a Rhetoric and Communications professor, a Philosophy professor, and a Mathematics professor (May as well work the interdisciplinary angle)
Some disadvantages are pretty clear. I don't have a pool of writing samples, and I am certainly not as polished as someone from a Communications or English background.
Do I stand a snowball's chance in Maui of getting into a respectable program? As funding is a necessity, I will focus on PhD programs, and I am strongly interested in technologically mediated communication, though I would love to do some work that relates rhetoric and mathematics.
Thank you for your time.
