^if you look at CMU’s curriculum, it’s really not that “focused on OR”.

Other than the 2 “Operation Research” courses, I don’t see how others are “OR focused”; also, those others are not really that “mathy”; one can easily take those at the (higher ranked) math or statistics (CMU doesn’t have stats department) departments at NU if one wants more math/stats courses.

OP, I also forgot to tell you one more program (if interested, you should contact the program director asap to see if they can let you in):
