<p>jchen3,</p>
<p>The iems/econ is really just like any other double-major except that it allows you to double-count some of the courses so you can graduate in 4 years quite easily (schedule-wise).</p>

<p>As far as Kellogg cert goes, it helps in the sense that the dual-major includes pretty much all of the pre-reqs. I don’t think the double-major itself would help you get in though; it probably depends mostly on your GPA.</p>
