NU vs. WUSTL vs. CMU [math/operations research/industrial engineering]

<p>tricky:
Educational benefit: knowledge in the two related fields.
Grad school placement should be excellent esp if you do well at NU and in GRE. Your placement is dependent on GRE, GPA, essay, prestige (which NU has), and letters of rec. The faculty members are leaders in the field (IEMS is ranked #5) and I am sure their recommendation would carry considerable weight.</p>
