Open Question: PhD programs in Industrial-Organizational Psychology?

I’ve been out of psychology for several years now, actually working in public health. I do have a BS in psychology & an MA in training & development, and I’m an Associate Member of the APA. I had a 3.6 GPA in my undergrad & a 4.0 GPA in my MA program. But like I said I haven’t been working in the psychology field for about 10 years now, and I don’t have any publications to my credit though I did work on a psychology department research study about 10 years ago, but that was a health psychology study.

My GRE scores are not great 1000 - 1100 range and I’m 41 years old, so I’m guessing those things are counting against me. LOL.

What do you think my chances of getting into a PhD program in I-O Psychology are? I’m not expecting to go to a great school considering my low GRE, but what about a mediocre school for I-O Psych? Would I still be able to get work if I did complete a PhD in I-O Psych from a lower-ranked school? Or is the I-O job market too competitive?
