What test does your program require? The GRE or GMAT? Your Subject test appears great. But your GRE verbal is low. Were you the 1st author on the publication? I am not too sure how competitive CMU is, nor do I know what university that is. I would definately contact their admissions secretary and she will tell you the GRE & GRE Subject average scores for students admitted previously. If you get into their program you should have a great shot at securing a TA position. Possibly even a stipend along with tuition remission for 4 years. You will need to contact the department and inquire on what you want to know.
It would be smart to first visit their website and see if you can get answers there, if not then contact the school.

Sorry, I didn't clear up this first time

- CMU = Carnegie Mellon University
- They don't have any admit stat on-line for this program
- I asked them by e-mail, but they don't have information

You wrote that it is possible to get both stipend and TA? Is it right? Could you tell me about this more.

Thank you.
