For upper division, I've taken ODE, Scientific Computing, Real Analysis I, Probability Theory, Applied Stats., Lin. Alg. and Advanced Lin. Alg. so far. This upcoming semester, my final one, I will take Real Analysis II, Stochastic Processes and a grad course in Combinatorial Optimization. How...

I recently talked with my advisor and he helped me straighten out my SOP. I managed to tie some of my research experience to my research interests. I think any research opportunity is a plus regardless of whether you got something published or not. I also talked about an REU that I participated...

I don't think HS physics will be much of a challenge as long as you dedicate yourself to the material. As an introductory course into an entire new subject area, it might take a bit longer to digest the material (unless you had some exposure prior). So, make sure you have plenty of time to study...

As you are aiming for industry and coming from an interdisciplinary background, I would suggest taking a look at master programs in industrial engineering, operations research or perhaps financial engineering as you cited a background in math, computing and business.

Thanks everyone for your input! I will definitely speak to my advisor on how to incorporate the paper into my SOP and make it align with my current research interests. Also, yes, I am majoring in EE and Math. I had the Calculus sequence, Diff. Eq., Lin. Alg. and most of the Gen. Ed...

I am currently majoring in electrical engineering and mathematics. I am applying to graduate school for Operations Research/Industrial Engineering. I did my senior thesis in electrical engineering (on circuits) and recently found out that it got accepted to a 2nd-tier journal. Should I...

Thanks everyone for your input. I've decided to take just 1 course this upcoming Spring to see if I can handle the work load. The professor is new and so is the course so my advisors does not know much but I will speak to him prior to starting the course about the difficulty and preparation...

I am planning to take my first grad course next semester in statistics (analysis of variance) and am debating if I should take grad combinatorial optimization as well. I handled 4 upper div. courses this semester pretty well (ODE, real analysis, probability theory, advanced linear algebra) but...
