Hi njindian,

You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

Well so far so good. If you are interested in a PhD position it is also helpful if you have done any of the three things:
1. Published
2. Conducted research
3. Taught

Since the focus is academic, in addition to your work experience, these things will be invaluable.

Now as you look for colleges for a PhD it is important that you look not only at universities but also at departments. Meaning you want to make sure that there is a Professor who would be interested in mentoring you on your specific topic of research.

I hope this helps!
And if you have any additional comments, don't hesitate!
