Hi!
I am a current RPI student who got accepted as a Transfer Student to Vandy. I will be a Junior at Vandy and Math major. I plan to go to graduate school focusing on mathematical science/engineering, like Operation Research or Actuarial Mathematics, and later go into a bank/insurance firm in NY or BLS in DC.
I cannot decide if I SHOULD transfer or not.
Here is the curriculum at RPI:
Prod & Ops Mgt & Cost Acctg
Statistical Analysis
Foundations of Analysis
Operations Research Methods
Discrete Event Simulation &Modeling
Information Systems
Engineering Economics
Supply Chain Management
IME Design
Professional Develp/Senior Research

At Vandy, I have to more Humanities because my major is under Arts and Sciences.
At RPI, I can take more technical courses, and graduate with Engineering Degree.
If I want to go into OR, Finance, or statistics in graduate school, which curriculum would better put me in graduate school admissions? Vandy or RPI??
Thanks!
