Fully funded Graduate applicant

[XPSMajor]

Hello all: opinion from the masses requested:

-military officer with 16 years experience

-MS (thesis)in chemistry GPA=3.4, Co School of Mines

-grad assistant at he National Renewable Energy Lab

-two years teaching experience at West Point (General/Analytical Chem)

-fully funded for a PhD for three years at school of choice; follow on assignment back to West Point as assistant professor

-applying to MIT, Columbia, Brown, Rutgers

-average GREs back in '04; let's just say not typical of your chem grad school applicant to tip tier schools

Thoughts on likelihood of being admitted to those programs?

Thanks and best to all!

You should have a pretty good shot at most schools, seeing as how they would essentially be taking you on at no cost and no risk of their own...

Your 2004 GRE score is no longer valid though.

As usual however, any threads asking for "chances" are rather pointless. Each individual is a different case and a different set of circumstances and predicting these outcomes is rather like trying to predict the lottery.
