<p>I thought Maxwell was only graduate school...?</p>

<p>I'm interested in their interdisciplinary programs... I was under the impression that you had to apply to the program, under a certain school. I know that Maxwell teaches the social sciences programs at CAS, but I thought for specialize programs you had to apply? That’s how some schools do it... If I am on a "dual track" and taking classes and majors at both schools, wouldn't it make sense to apply to both? I'm going to ask my college counselor... sorry for the confusion, thanks for the reply though!</p>

<p>You seem like a pretty strong applicant. As a heads up, you apply to the College of Arts and Sciences, but the social sciences programs are done in conjunction with the Maxwell school.</p>
