Hah, very true.

I won't mention the university, but they're in the northern Atlantic region (not MIT or CMU). My CS interests (machine learning and computational statistics) extend from my domain experience (applied statistics), and I also have a strong background in math. Finally, I bootstrapped my CS knowledge up to a certain level using online lectures from MIT, Stanford, and Harvard, and mentioned as much in my application.

Mathematicians go to great lengths to make careful distinctions between objects, notions and concepts. With those skills you will have no problems with any Object Oriented Analysis - Design - Programming.

Wishing you all the very best of success with your graduate program.
