<p>As the title should hava said: how difficult is it to get into the Kellogg Certificate program?</p>
<p>To be more specific, how competitive is it?</p>
<p>It’s between a 60-80% acceptance rate after the relatively tough pre-reqs.</p>
<p>Just a note for CPU: If you’re IE, you won’t have to step out of your way much to get to the MA certificate. MMSS and Econ majors will have a great time with the FE certificate.</p>
<p>Hi Cubecul:</p>
<p>Do you know if someone who goes through the regular Calculus classes (Math 230 to 240) will be at a disadvantage when applying in comparison to students who go through some of the more advanced classes (say MENU 290 sequence)?</p>
<p>The Kellogg FAQ says that all courses are given the same consideration, but what is the “inside scoop”?</p>
<p>Tks,</p>
<p>-Inpersonal.</p>
<p>I’m not in the program, and many of the people I know that are in the program are MMSS, so I have no authority. However, I’m guessing that the regular math sequence is just longer (and takes up more course slots) and scheduling just nips people in the end. I mean for MA it really is 220-224-230-234-300-310,1-385</p>
<p>MENU, by the way, programs in 3 sections for fall, 2 sections for winter, and 1 for spring. Just a little perspective on what the MENU organizers expect in terms of enrollment by quarter.</p>
<p>I’m in MMSS and - provided your GPA is solid - you can expect to be accepted into the Kellogg Certificate after the MMSS curriculum. I can’t speak much for IE but I know that several of my friends are planning on doing IE -> Kellogg and they don’t seem to struggling with fitting in classes.</p>
<p>I have a question along similar lines. I’m toying around with the notion of dual degreeing in Computer Science and Economics and I would like to also complete the certificate program for financial economics. I know the dual degree requires an extra year but would it be possible to also fit in the certificate?</p>
<p>Yjaden, here’s what you can do to see if things fit:</p>
<p>Just open up a spreadsheet, dump in your requirements for CS, Econ, General Engineering if McCormick or Distros/Seminars if WCAS, and Certificate requirements. Order them in 4 classes per quarter, then put things roughly where they go. For example, freshman seminars will go one in fall, then the other in either winter or spring. Econ 381-2 requires 381-1, and 381-1 starts in the Winter, so you know where those will go. Econ 381-1 requires Econ 311 and 310-1, which both require Econ 201 and 202.</p>
<p>It won’t be exactly your schedule planned out but you can figure out roughly what needs to happen before your 3rd year and such.</p>
<p>You could do it in 4 years if you take a few quarters of 5 classes.</p>
