Hello,

I'm not as familiar with the requirements of the PhD programs - that said, it looks like you have basic qualifications for such programs, but they are very competitive. So it likely would depend in significant part on the substance of your statement of purpose, i.e., what is your area of interest and what do you have to say about it, what will your research pursue and why - you will need to show that you'll make a novel and important contribution through your doctoral work and subsequently.

Best regards,
