<p>If I want to double major in econ and iems, would i apply to CAS or engineering school?</p>
<p>I studied IEMS at NU. You should apply directly to McCormick, as that will be your home school. As a McCormick student with a double major in economics, you will take all of the required econ courses, but will not have to complete the WCAS distribution requirements. </p>
<p>You may be interested in the Kellogg Certificate Program for Undergraduates at NU also ([Certificate</a> Program for Undergraduates - Kellogg School of Management - Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate.aspx]Certificate”>http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate.aspx)).</p>
<p>Can i double if i go to weinburg instead of mccormick?</p>
<p>also how hard is it to get into kellog certificate program? and do i need to be in weinburg to apply for the program?</p>
<p>Weinberg, not ‘weinburg,’ and two g’s in Kellogg - don’t make that mistake on your application essay.</p>
<p>No, for any engineering major, you must be in McCormick.</p>
<p>The Kellogg program seems to get more competitive each year, and my experience may be a little dated. Usually the applicant pool is self-selective, and most people who apply to the program get in, due to many people being ‘weeded out’ by the prerequisite courses, of which there are many. You can apply to the program from any undergraduate school at NU as long as you complete the prerequisites. IEMS, econ, math, MMSS cover the prereqs very well, so many applicants come from those majors.</p>
<p>wait, so basically you can double in iems/econ if you are in mccormick, but you can’t double in iems/econ if you are from weinberg? is that what you’re saying?</p>
<p>Yes, you need to be in McCormick to major in IEMS. You can apply to WCAS originally and then try to transfer to McCormick after you are accepted, but I strongly recommend applying to McCormick initially.</p>
<p>Why do you recommend applying to mccormick initially? I heard transferring between schools was super easy except for the journalism school.</p>
<p>Also sorry for the irrelevant question, but are the dining halls all you can eat?</p>
<p>The course schedule in engineering is very regimented, so it is best to start taking engineering classes right away or it is easy to fall behind. I do not have experience myself transferring, but I don’t think the university would look favorably on an application where they think the applicant is looking to transfer to a different school once he/she is admitted.</p>
<p>Yes, dining halls are all you can eat.</p>
<p>Oh i actually heard people transferring before the school year even started, i’ll look more into that when i actually apply. thanks for the help</p>
