Hey priyamehla - we're assuming that you're specifically hitting us up with your query because you saw
our prior exchange with someone else interested in HRM here, is that correct?
Your GRE is very high, we're guessing it's well above the average at many HR programs (that's just a guess, we don't have actual insight into these schools). Many of the programs are open to career-switchers though some expect people to have previous industry experience. You'll have to research the requirements carefully. It's a good list of schools and we don't see why you couldn't get into at least one or two of them, with a strong SOP of course.
The glitch that got us hung up though: Why the focus on 'research'? Our understanding of most of these master's programs is that they're designed as professional degrees. Yes, you could potentially go on to a PhD program from some of them, but at least with like that MILR at Cornell, it's designed for people who want to go out into the world and work thereafter. There isn't even a thesis requirement for many of these degrees, as far as we know - could be wrong about that. Regardless, you threw us off with the 'research' comments. If that's what you're interested in then you should be considering a PhD program.
Each of these programs is quite different and we've only helped applicants to a small number of them - we don't have extensive experience in this area of the graduate school world. We're happy to try and answer questions for you but we'd be in a better position to do so if you signed up for our
private Comprehensive Profile Review, which you can learn about here and there is a
discountavailable for GMAT Club members (sorry for the upsell but it would help us to help you better).
Your background should be a nice complement to an HR degree as we discussed in that other thread - sounds like you've been putting the pieces in place for awhile which is advantageous. Hope it works out for you! Let us know if we can help.
