<p>I wonder why they decided not to send the decisions by mail this year, but I just got my acceptance letter by email 15 minutes ago. Anyone else hear back?</p>
<p>what is MMSS?</p>
<p>Yes, I just heard back to. I was about to call and ask them when they’d email decisions and then I saw the email in my inbox. I was also lucky enough to be admitted. Are you attending?</p>

<p>^ lazyness strikes again.</p>
<p>Wow I dislike social studies with a passion… haha if I go to NU I will not be applying for this, but congrats to you two for getting in!</p>
<p>i got in too 
am i wrong in thinking that MMSS is similar to undergrad business school? is at least slightly business oriented?</p>
<p>^^^absolutely right. The group of selected students also all stay in the same dorm. It’s an amazing program.</p>
<p>haha i just got in too :D</p>
<p>wait SAME DORM?? which dorm?? ahhh</p>
<p>no not same dorm…and it’s a math-intensive program…social sciences mainly implies economics…not social studies as in history…</p>
<p>How did you guys apply for this anyway? Was there a place on the application for this?</p>
<p>^looks like you overlooked a great program. big misake! call the director if you are interested; they may be able to squeeze you in. sophomore admission is much more competitive.</p>
<p>we still get to choose which dorm to stay in right? where will most of our classes be?</p>
<p>Do they only accept 20 people, or do they accept more while expecting about 20 to attend? It’s kind of cool that 3 of them in the whole nation are right here on CC lol.</p>
<p>haha hmm I never thought of that! that’s really cool! around what % of the people are accepted? it seems more self-selective than anything</p>
<p>arzachel, i read that they were gonna expand it. it’s probably more like 30/30.</p>
<p>MMSS alum from the mid 80’s here! Boy, the program has changed. We didn’t all stay in the same dorm, at all. Also, there was more of a focus on social sciences as a whole – most of us took our dual major in econ, but many took it in poli sci and some in anthropology, psychology or sociology. It’s a little sad how it’s now so undergrad-business-y. Take a look at the senior thesis papers on the website and you’ll see how the focus has changed and become more pre-professional.</p>
<p>Congrats on your achievement!</p>
