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

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. </p>
