Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums
I'm thinking we can share stats, concerns, about the upcoming admissions process.
Just wondering who else is applying to Operations Research / Industrial engineering PhDs for Fall 2015?
Here are my stats:
Undergrad Institution: Large Public
Major: Mathematics
GPA: 3.82
Domestic Male (U.S. Citizen)
GRE:
V: 164 (93%)
Q: 170 (98%)
W: 5.0 (93%)
GRE Subject Test Mathematics
780 (78%)
Research Experience - 1 REU, 2 additional summers of research, 2 conference talks, no publications.
Other points: My math background is very strong - taken numerous grad-level classes and almost all of my school's undergrad math courses. I hear that OR prefers math majors, is that true?
I'm looking to apply to these schools for OR:
UNC Chapel Hill
Michigan
MIT
Berkeley
Columbia
Cornell
Georgia Tech
What do you think of my chances? Do you think I'm shooting too high?
