<p>I got into University of Michigan & Northwestern, need advice on which to pick</p>
<p>I'm planning on majoring in Computer Science...</p>
<p>Also considering double majoring with Business or double-majoring/minoring with Political Science</p>
<p>I'm thinking Michigan is somewhat better in undergrad comp sci, but I'd also like to go somewhere which is good all-around...</p>
<p>advice?</p>
<p>They are both good all-around. For example, Michigan's Ross is one of the best undergrad business programs out there. But you need to find out how flexible is double-majoring (within one school and across two different schools) or adding majors at Michigan. This can be an issue with a lot of state U but may not be the case for Mich. NU is very lenient and flexible about this sort of things and is a great place for people who seem to have multiple interests. The quarter system also make various combinations like double-major, major+ minor, double-major+minor, or even triple-major a very reachable goal even within 4 years.</p>
<p>I know that Ross is ranked 3rd in Business...
but it accepts slightly less than half its applicants for its 3year program which i'd have to apply for in freshman year after a writing requirement, calculus, and microecon...</p>
<p>Northwestern's Kellogg is more or less graduates-only so i suppose the most i could get is an undergrad certificate in business...
but i also read something about a combined 4-year BS/MS program at McCormick</p>
<p>Also, how is tuition affected from double-majoring?</p>
<p>Shouldn't be affected unless you take too many classes per quarter. But if you are a McCormick student, I think you are allowed to take 5 without any extra charge. That's 15 per year; I think that's more than you may want anyway. ;) In WCAS, I am not sure if that's the case. You may incur extra cost if you take more than 4 in one quarter. You may want to post this question on NU board since the current students know better than me.</p>
<p>Oh, don't let the word "certificate" fool you. The courses are probably far more intense/advanced than typical finance courses in any undergrad programs out there. No other business undergrad program requires pre-reqs in advanced math and econometrics like Kellogg cert does. One student who is in it told me the first course is the same as "Turbo Finance" for Kellogg MBA students and taught by the same teacher. Turbo</a> Finance, Finance Department. If you pick financial economics cert, you will get a far more advanced/technical training in finance than any undergrad finance degree-granting program out there. You don't get an undergrad 'degree' only because you don't take general courses like marketing, leadership, organizational behavior, business law..etc.</p>
<p>thanks for the info on Northwestern, i wonder if those hiring realize how intense getting that certificate is...</p>
<p>do u know anything about Michigan's policy regarding double majors?</p>
