BA Computer Science?

If I pursue a BA in computer science, does it in any way affect my prospects of getting into a good engineering grad school?
Does having been in liberal arts (and a BA instead of BS) in any way affect one's chances? Please be honest.

I majored in physics and got into a top 10 grad school. I knew two people from my year that majored in Comp Science and got into top schools as well, so the answer of your question is No, it doesn't really affect your chances. however, that is true only if you work hard and try to be well above the average student of your classes + start doing research as early as possible.
