Chances- Environmental Sciences, Tox

<p>Hello. I go to a Top 20 public school right now, and the schools I'm applying to are all much lower ranked (in public and national rankings), except for Texas A&M and Baylor. What are my chances at Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech, and North Texas for Environmental Sciences/Tox?
(yeah i know those are undergrad rankings but w/e)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.00 (right now, could drop to 2.7 after this semester, but no doubt 3.0 when i graduate)
GRE: V: 510 M: 660 (1170)
Rec's from professor (the one i do research with) who is well known with all of my schools, one from my advisor, and one from my boss
8 months of tox research experience</p>

<p>I know that graduate school admissions are really tricky and also depends on the personal statement and all but what do you guys think numbers wise?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the schools you listed, but LSU has a graduate level Toxicology program and I can make an educated guess. As long as your undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or higher, I think you have a very good chance of getting in somewhere. Things get dicey below that 3.0 as you typically fall into “conditional” status.</p>
