Qualifications
Your high school preparation should include four years of mathematics, including one year of calculus. You should have completed the study of one-variable differential and integral calculus before enrolling in ISP. You should also have completed four years of science, including chemistry and physics. Taking AP Calculus, Physics and Chemistry is highly recommended. Students with outstanding high school records who fall just short of these standards may still be considered for ISP. We will also take into consideration appropriate college courses and IB scores. Be sure you have reported your AP and IB scores to Northwestern University. We may delay making a decision on your ISP application until we have received them.
If you will be taking AP or IB tests at the end of your senior year, and are otherwise well-qualified, we may be able to defer your decision until we have the results of those tests. Be sure to note this on your application and send in your test scores to NU as soon as possible. We will contact you should we need any additional information.
Please contact the program assistant if you have questions about your qualifications or preparation.
