PhD in Industrial Engineering/Operations Research Fall 2014

[wewewe]

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?

Everyone in my year came from math so I'd say that's true
