whereicango Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I had a hard time deciding whether to go to the phd program in applied math at UW Seattle, or the master program in ms&e at stanford. personally i feel that i am more interested in operations research/ industrial engineering, though i actually did not have any real experience with it. however, a master's program is so expensive and stanford must be very competitive. also, i am an international student with no internship experience, which means it would be much harder for me to find a job after the master program. i feel like i want to go to stanford, but i do not dare and it seems to be so irrational to give up a phd program in seattle...

cicada2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 why do you think you are interested in IEOR if you don't have any experience in it? if you are dead set on industry, then MS&E at stanford might make sense. otherwise, go to UW. UW applied math is very very good (don't be fooled by its (relatively) lower undergrad reputation. UW is a top graduate school for many STEM fields) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
