<p>Northwestern has a few "honors" programs; two of them simply give you admission tickets to their nationally-ranked law and medical schools; other than that, the curriculum is nothing uncommon. The other two are ISP (integrated science program) and MMSS (mathematical methods for social sciences). These two have uncommon curriculum and it's incredibly intense but the reward is high (many MMSS students get job offers from top consulting/IB firms).</p>
