Integrated Science Program - Accepted or not?

<p>Hello guys. I was accepted by Northwestern today but the e-mail did not say anything about ISP. When I applied to ISP, it said that decisions for NU and ISP would come at the same time.</p>

<p>Does anyone know when I shall know if I was also accepted to the Integrated Science Program?</p>

<p>You are in. It’s too self-selective to have too many students applying for it. The CalTech-like curriculum isn’t most people’s cup of tea.</p>

<p>Last year, the acceptances to ISP were noticed by email on April 1. Congrats! My S is a freshman in that program.</p>

<p>If you’re anything like my S, you’ve love the idea you chose the CalTech curriculum on such a vibrant campus as Northwestern. He’s going to room next year with one of his fellow ISPers.</p>

<p>The ISP acceptance emails are being sent out. Check your email.</p>

<p>Anyone else get accepted into the ISP program?</p>

<p>My son did and I am trying to figure out his fit and compare it with engineering at UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon and the NW engineering honours program.</p>

<p>^^I have heard, although it must be a tremendous workload, that their have been students who majored in an engineering area AND ISP. The tricky bit may be that, because it’s in two different colleges, the grad requirements between the colleges will be different.</p>

<p>This must be why ISP sends their info packets to prospective engineering majors.</p>

<p>My S, who is a freshman in ISP, is now, interestingly, exploring the option of having his second major in McCormick. He’s thinking applied mathematics. How this might turn out will be interesting, as my H is a math professor and advising him he’d get the stronger math background by staying in Weinberg for the math major, and then moving on to applied math in grad school. My H has seen several of his colleagues do it this way.</p>
