Anyone know about Math Methods in the Social Sciences?

<p>Are any of you or anyone you know at NU in this program. It sounds pretty good on the website, especially for someone who wants to go to Wall Street. You have to apply seperatley for MMSS, so does that mean you can still be accepted to NU but not to MMSS?</p>

<p>anyone????</p>

<p>yes you can (same for all special programs at NU)
now post on my thread (no1 really posted their either)</p>

<p>It's a great program. Below is a list of summer internships held by the students in recent years:</p>

<p>sam lee, are you in the program? if you are can you tell me anything about it?</p>

<p>that list of summer internships is pretty impressive to someone who wants to go into finance.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into MMSS as a sophomore? Should you take certain classes as a freshman so you aren't behind if/when you start the program?</p>

<p>RenMan,</p>

<p>I wasn't in the program. Everything I've heard about it has been very positive.</p>

look under "admission to MMSS as a sophomore".</p>

<p>the website says that you take 2 classes a quarter that are only for mmss, and I guess they would be kind of small. but is this good or does it kind of alienate you from the rest of the school?</p>

<p>Not really. It's no different from taking other core classes for your other majors. My best friends from my major didn't become close until we took probably 3 or 4 classes together. Taking 6 quarters of classes with the same people provides great opportunity to develop close friendship with some of them.</p>
