<p>CSS students take many regular classes with non-CSS majors too. </p>
<p>Just wanted to point that out.</p>
<p>There is a competitive application process, but there’s a great deal of self-selection in that basically everyone who applies has really thought it through and is very serious and has solid academic reasons for wanting to go CSS. So, if you really want to do it and have done reasonably well in your first year classes (and why are you applying if you haven’t?!?), you will probably get in.</p>
