Another useless what are my chances thread

[mellamobradley]

Me:

Undergrad GPA: 3.7

Masters GPA: 3.8

GRE: V: 670

Q: 770

AW: 4.0 (ouch)

Solid, somewhat personal recs from PS professors

Some academic awards

(I think) a very compelling SOP.

What are my chances at programs in the top-15?

It is really hard to say. Your numbers are obviously good enough to be competitive, but a lot will depend on your LORs, who they come from and what they say. Where you did your undergrad and grad work and all the other factors that go into the process also make a big difference. I think the most accurate thing I can say, is that there are no red flags in the info you provided, but there is no way to know who will/will not get into specific programs.

Everyone I have talked to has said that even the best prepared candidates, with perfect paper records, can find themselves horribly disappointed. You seem like you have enough to be given a fair chance, but even then, its a crapshoot.

If you want better advice, I'd suggest including a bit more information. My similar thread has led to people providing me with a lot of really useful information. But of course, your stats are strong, so you'll be a strong applicant on those grounds, at least. I imagine a lot will depend on what courses you took, your undergrad institution, etc. more than any differences between a 3.7-4.0.
