Hi, guys I want to apply IEOR in 13fall, just a MS degree. here is my background Major: EE frm Chinese top15 engineering university GPA:3.2/4.0 GRE:V(53%) Q(94%) A(11%) TOEFL:97(Speaking:23) Letter: very normal but one professor may recommend me to UW. here is my list, anyone could give me some advice:)) Thank you~^^~ Gatech(just for fun:P) UW seattle (perfect location!) UW-Madison (good rank but location is so so) TAMU(tuition is cheap&famous engineering school) VT USC( so many ADs every year...good networking....but expensive) NCSU Another question is, how do you think between UW seattle and UW-madison? UW seattle has a very good location with many famous companies but the program seems not very famous. BTW, awesome climate(I love somewhere not too cold and not too warm) UW-Madison has a good rank but the location and climate is a little bit tough. My aim is to finish my MS and work several years in US., then back to hometown, so employment rate is important for me when make a choice.... So ,guys, just say your idea
