I am going to be applying to Northwestern in the fall and am wondering about the program for mathematical methods in the social sciences. What kinds of careers does this prepare you for and how difficult is it to get into. What classes could I take to prepare for it. Would finishing high school in Calc AB be good enough or is that not advanced enough? Also if I realize it’s not a good fit for me, is it difficult to change out of it?
Do any other schools have a similar program?
Thanks so much for any help!
