aeiou12345 got a reaction from ___IM_HUNGRY____ in Fall 2022 Operations Research PhD -- Profile Evaluation + General Questions
I don’t know what hapless potential OR PhD student may stumble upon this in the future, but I thought if someone does it might be useful to know where I got in (and once I decide, where I ended up, maybe!). All applications were to PhD programs.
Accepted:
GTech ISyE
Cornell ORIE
Berkeley IEOR
Columbia IEOR
Waitlisted:
Stanford GSB OIT
Rejected:
CMU ACO (through math dept.)
MIT ORC
Princeton ORFE
Stanford MSE OR
Interviewed:
UMich IOE (withdrew)

aeiou12345 got a reaction from IE Student in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) Fall 2022 PhD admissions
I am not sure anyone has received an acceptance from UMich IOE yet, but this reminded me to withdraw my application to the program. I hope you get in, it’s a really lovely program and I’m wishing you luck!! ?

Check out my profile from way back which I think is similar to yours but less OR focused. I also applied having no idea what OR was like and I got into Northwestern and GaTech ML (ISYE) with special fellowships for both. I only applied to the two because my main interests was Statistics PhDs. I think you have a good shot at all of them except MIT because, well, MIT (still worth applying IMO tho)

Hey, this is mostly a statistics forum, so I will forewarn you that this is a *very* uninformed opinion. But some people here over the years have applied to both statistics and operations research programs, so I've seen a little bit of these admissions results. I'm guessing when you say you go to a liberal arts college that it's a pretty good one? Top 20 or top 50 at least?
Regardless, your profile looks very strong both in terms of coursework and research and I'd recommend you apply to any of those programs that interest you and I suspect you'll have good results. It seems to me, from an outsider perspective, that once you get past MIT/Princeton, the level of competition drops dramatically and these programs tend to not be as competitive as statistics PhDs, where I would recommend you apply to top programs. I have seen some applicants here who didn't get into top 40 statistics programs but got into OR programs like Berkeley, so I imagine you will have a lot of good choices.
