<p>I got into pre-ECON as a transfer for spring07 but I might just change on over to the OPERATIONS RESEARCH & MANAGEMENT SCIENCE major. It seems like the perfect major for me... combining what i love about econ (applied micro/behavioral/decision making) with math & business. </p>

<p>I have some questions...</p>

<p>what level of difficulty can i expect in IEOR courses? Is this a difficult major to get into? how difficult would it be to double major in econ & orms? orms & applied math?</p>

<p>& any other information you could give me re: the major would be great. thanks!</p>

<p>I'm a freshman going into IEOR. From what I hear, it isn't that hard, and I heard it's tiny, like with 15 kids in the major in the 1st year...eventually more kids transfer in</p>

<p>I want more info. about ORMS as well.</p>

<p>No, it's not 15 students per year, more like ~25. There were 109 undergrads in the 04-05 year. Basically the upper div courses will rock b/c the class size is so small :)</p>

<p>But then again, ORMS students will also be taking IEOR courses... so maybe not so small anymore. However, ORMS is impacted.</p>

<p>nah i meant it starts off with 15...according to professor adler (i asked him a few weeks ago)</p>

<p>later on, people realize how awesome the major is and transfer in, bringing it up to about 25 ;)</p>
