If you can get a LOR from a Chicago professor (preferably be RA) and to succeed in Chicago core PhD courses I think you can go into the top10. It looks better than other MA programs.

Stanford GSB OIT or Harvard TOM? what do you think?

No.. I heard only from NYU Econ. What about Berkeley Econ? maybe results will come today?

NYU phone calls on GC seem strange. Anyone heard from NYU?

No.. I guess they didnt send all the results yet.

Hello, Someone knows what is the ranking for OM/OR programs? and the best placements?

Austin for a better life in the next five years. UMichigan for a better academic career.

You need to wait and hope that many applicants will decline Northwestern and go to Stanford,Chicago,Harvard,MIT,Princeton...

Chicago is top 5, see placements in Chicago's website and compare to other top 10.. What other options you have??

And one from Wisconsin Madison. Seems early.. maybe a troll? someone can confirm?

You should not retake. No one care aboust AWA. 3.5 is ok.

The school has a history of placing students in the US. (not sure about the recommender). and it is very rigor. (math department ranked high top 50 in shanghai ranking) my RA prof was my thesis advisor. (well known game theorist) and he writes rec.
