If I go to NU, I'd like to do a double major (political science from A&S and communications from the School of Comm.) Is either of them easier to get into than the other?

You can double major but only in the A&S if you are in one of the smaller schools. So Comm. and Poli Sci could work. I'm not sure what is easier.

Can you double major from A&S to a smaller school? Say english and journalism

You would have to get into Medill(Journalism) and major in English, you can't do it the other way around I don't think since some programs like Journalism and Radio/TV/Film have caps on the number of students possible in the school.

You can enter Northwestern as a Weinberg School and do an InterTransfer application to the other specialied schools (Comm, SESP, Medill, Music) but you have to maintain a superior GPA and courses for the transfer to happen. Medill is harder to transfer into while SESP and Comm are much easier. Do what you feel is best for you.
