<p>Hahaha another ambitious kid. </p>
<p>How bright are you? That’s what really counts when it comes down to whether or not you can do all these great programs that are at Northwestern. Competition can be tough. But quite a few kids make it, so if you think you’re in that register, and you’re motivated, then don’t worry about it! </p>
<p>BA/MS isn’t that hard, I don’t think. I believe the minimum GPA is 3.5 for most departments, but recommended is 3.7. If you come in with enough credits, you can even finish your masters in 4 years! That being said, I don’t think it’s 1%, which is … 3-4 kids. I would make an educated guess that about 20 kids complete it each year. I may be wrong though, so it would be wise to check some more veritable statistics. </p>
<p>Average GPA for engineering students is 2.7, as I hear. In the honors sections, I would estimate the average GPA to be around 3.6. I don’t know anyone with GPA under 3.0 though, to be honest. </p>
<p>I’m doing a double major in Materials Science and Engineering and Applied Mathematics. I’ll be able to complete it in four years, although I may have to take classes over the summer some year. </p>
<p>Any other questions? Are you planning on taking honors EA and honors calc? Those are required for kellogg certificate, you know.</p>
