<p>@bernie12 – again, thanks. Emory is the only full-pay school on the acceptance list, but right now it’s the leading contender. As you said, it would be pretty stupid to go there and just take the ‘gut’ courses (?are they still called that?) to buff up the GPA. My sister teaches at selective liberal arts college in New England (don’t want to name it, but think “Jumbos”), and one thing that makes her crazy is when incoming freshmen repeat a lot of courses that they’ve already taken (AP’s in high school) just so they can get a 4.0. And that does happen.</p>
<p>Another question: Could my son possibly get closed out of these courses in his first two years? Per the course descriptions on the website, many of the CS courses have limited sections with a max of 25 students. How does the registration process work in terms of getting into the courses that you’ll need? How are the registrants prioritized? Is there any preference if it’s your minor? Is it simply a non-issue?</p>
<p>Again, thanks.</p>
