<p>Allies: I know my dad definitely liked Northwestern besides the program, as he actually dropped out of ISP his junior year and decided to major entirely in biochemistry (he went to medical school later). My twin brother on the other hand, while he did like Northwestern, is going there because of ISP. Advice in general he told both of us is that you have to love science. I believe his exact phrase was “You will take every science course known to mankind.” It’s hard, it requires a lot of work, but he found it fascinating and loved having the smaller, closer classes. For him, I guess it was a stepping stone to find a major he loved even more, but the science background definitely helped him in medical school (he went to University of Chicago for that), so I don’t think the admissions people minded or anything.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
