Cornell CAS or Northwestern MMSS?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>I am planning to double major in economics and math, but would rather not take the chance and apply to Cornell's AEM (as I am ED'ing somewhere else and its RD acceptance rate is frighteningly low). Should I apply to Cornell CAS or Northwestern's specialized Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences program? </p>

<p>Wait, are you choosing between these 2 to ED?</p>

<p>Know career goals/leanings yet?</p>

<p>Nope. My school sets a limit on how many colleges I can apply to so these two programs are fighting for my final slot. As of now, I’m leaning towards investment banking/counseling and I reckoned Northwestern’s Kellogg Certificate could be of some use. </p>

<p>Ah. I see. How terrible. Sorry to hear.</p>

<p>In any case, MMSS (with the Kellogg Certificate) seems to have become a pipeline in to high finance/Wall Street.</p>
