Fellow scholars, do you think I'll get into grad school?

Question

I just mailed out my application for grad school. I want to do a PhD. in entomology.

Pros: I finish up my master's in bio in May. I've had an intership with the federal government for 2 years, I have a 3.74 GPA, I serve on a couple committees, I'll have 2-3 publications by the time I graduate. The head of the lab I want to work in said she was interested in meeting with me.

Cons: my GREs weren't the greates but not horrible either, I have a lot of course definciencies since my bachelors was an arts degree.

What are my chances?

Answer 1

You will have a better idea about your chances if you take some time to look at the average GRE scores for the department you applied to, and the GRE requirements to make sure that your scores fall in that range.
Other than that, the rest of your history looks pretty good. Sometimes they will make allowances to allow you to take the missing courses, or you could try to take the courses over the summer. You would want to talk with them about this if you make it to the interview phase.

Good Luck!!
