<p>a question for current northwestern students- is it hard to get into the Kellogg Undergraduate Certificate Program? As in are the prerequisites hard and if you complete all of them is it still hard to be selected?</p>
<p>i’m guessing… no one?</p>
<p>It’s about a 2/3 acceptance rate once you meet the prerequisites. This is what Carol Henes - the director of the Kellogg Certificate Program - said at the Wildcat Day I attended earlier this year.</p>
<p>She also mentioned that the prerequisites themselves do a fair bit of weeding out.</p>
<p>true fact. they look really tough.</p>
<p>I was also told MMSS students tend to have higher degrees of success with the certificate program - both with respect to getting admitted and performance within the program - due to the math heavy nature of the MMSS program and the consequent qualifier that MMSS ends up being come application time to the program.</p>
<p>Viviste is absolutely correct. I am an MMSS student, and the curriculum quite handily satisfies the Kellogg CPU prerequisites and provides excellent preparation for the heavily quantitative programs. Everyone I know in MMSS who applied this year was admitted to one of the programs.</p>
<p>i’m not an MMSS student but thanks for your response.</p>
