Thanks for the reply hasseye. Anyone else have any opinions? My math background might be a bit weak - I've taken elementary real analysis but no further, though I've also taken stochastic processes, machine learning, etc. Would a few years of work experience be favorable to my application?

Hi everyone, I'd like some help in determining my chances for getting in to a good OR/stats phd program. My profile: EE BS/MS from a top 5 school (signal processing/machine learning) undegrad gpa: 3.1/4.0 grad gpa: 4.0/4.0 GRE was 800 math, 720 verbal, 4.5 analytical last time I took it (but I'll need to take it again I think) 1 publication in undergrad + my MS thesis have worked for 2 years as a quant developer at a hedge fund I am thinking about applying to Princeton's ORFE, Columbia OR or stats, or similar programs, but I have absolutely no idea how realistic my chances at top programs would be, especially since my undergrad gpa is kind of poor. I would appreciate any advice or comments. Thanks!
