If you are going to base your decision on the potential double major at Northwestern, you had better check with NU to make absolutely sure that it would indeed be permitted – and if it is, what sort of restrictions there might be and what kind of course load you would be carrying.

I do know that NU does have rules about double majoring in two different schools, although I don’t know about pairing McCormick and COE specifically. I do know that the BME curriculum is pretty intense and does not have a whole lot of flexibility and elective slots, so you might not be able to fit in the courses you need for the film major in 4 years.

I urge you to call NU right away so that you do not base your decision on false assumptions.
