Masters in Engineering

Graduate School
1

<p>I am considering a few graduate engineering (systems or industrial) programs and would like some feedback on how competitive I will be for admissions.</p>

<p>I recently started working for a major supply chain and warehousing company in NJ. I work in operations management. My job deals a lot with operational improvements and efficiency studies. The company pays 100% of tuition for part-time programs, which I would like to take advantage of. </p>

<p>Here's what I'm working with...</p>

<p>MS in Commerce - UVa
GPA: 3.40</p>

<p>BA in Econ - UVa
GPA: 3.49</p>

<p>GRE<br>
M:780, R: 530, A: 3.5</p>

<p>I can get a great rec from the director of my graduate program and another from work. In terms of math, in college I took honors calc 3, 3 different stats classes, probability, linear algebra, basic real analysis, and econometrics. I'm also 21 and finished college in 2 years if that makes any difference.</p>

<p>I am most interested in Penn and Rutgers. Princeton's probably out of my league. If there are other good programs in the NJ/NYC/Philly area I'm open to suggestions. Thoughts on my chances?</p>

<p>Bump - advice is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I suspect that most colleges will make you take a semester of undergrad classes beforehand, but you look fine other than that. ISyE and a math-heavy Econ degree are definitely not very different. I’m not familiar with northeast schools so I can’t comment there.</p>

<p>Other opinions?</p>

<p>I guess I’ll give this another bump.</p>

<p>Have you posted this in the Engineering forum?</p>

<p>I think gthopeful is correct, meaning that you may need to take Statics, Intro, Engineering Graphics, etc. in order to be fully admitted but that really depends on the program.</p>
