Will my research experience help with Applying to good schools?

If the programs have a huge applicant pool, they will likely triage based on GPA and/or GRE scores. They just cannot review all applications thoroughly. What can you do to improve your odds?


Get your employer to call his colleagues about you. That may pull your application into the pool that is being reviewed carefully. If he is that well respected, it could help.
Apply to some programs where they have a smaller pool and there is someone you might like to work with (ask your current employer who is good at a smaller program).


Good Luck!
