Undergraduate Institution: Small, private Top 50 U.S university
Major: Math BS, Computer Science BS
GPA: 4.00
GRE: Verbal 170, Quant 166, AW 4.5
Graduate Institution: N/A
Important Classes: Foundations of Analysis, Real Analysis, Linear Algebra, Numerical Computing, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Statistical Analysis, Lots of CS
Research Experience: Worked with professors at my institution for a senior thesis and a URP
Publications: 1 perhaps upcoming
Grants: None
Teaching experience: Worked as a math mentor for Calc 1 and as a tutor for elementary school students
LORs: 2 from professors of Industrial Engineering with whom I've done research, one from Math professor of course where I was top student. One LOR from full professor of IE was stellar. He in fact offered me a job as a consultant with his company after our research experience. Second IE professor probably gave a pretty solid rec, as I did very well in his Mathematical Statistics course and had also begun research with him on a problem in operations research. Third rec was very good for a Did Well in Class rec, but as we all know these only go so far.
