humm, I wonder what the profiles of the people who are accepted look like. Any ideas about last minute ways to improve up my application?

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about applying to OR masters programs (but also possibly PhD ones), but not exactly sure yet which ones I am considering. A very rough short initial list might be MIT Columbia Cornell but I am not sure exactly where else to look. I was actually considering doing the double degree in Transportation Engineering and OR at MIT, if I could get in. My stats are: GRE-800Q 670V Undergrad GPA- 3.77 (4.0 major GPA (Math and CS majors)) at Tufts university Probably pretty solid Recs, two very good ones from an REU professor and an independent study advisor one pretty good one from another professor Not really sure how I compare. Any ideas?

Hey, so I've been considering getting either a masters or a PhD in OR, and was wondering, if I were to go to a top school and do well while there, what kind of positions and salaries could i expect after I graduate? I can't seem to find any good info on this online (I found some things, but not sure about their reliability), and I don't know anyone else in the field so I decided to turn to the experts at the grad cafe. Thanks for any advice you might have. P.S. I was not sure where to post this, so I also posted it on the Engineering forum.
