Hello,

I was admitted to Northwestern as a sophomore to Weinberg CS. However, I stumbled upon the MMSS program a few days ago and had a few questions:

1. Is it possible to start MMSS as a sophomore? If so, would I have to spend an extra year at Northwestern?

2. Is it difficult to get into the program as a sophomore?

3. I know that the major is really rigorous, but is it too rigorous to do a double major in CS along with it?

4. I come from a community college, and although our math courses weren't easy, they weren't very rigorous either. Is the math an exponential jump? I've completed my entire calc sequence if that makes any difference.

5. The course descriptions online sound amazing, but can someone give me an idea of what being in the major is like? I don't know if I'm suited for this major.

Thank you!
