<p>@james2014 Thank you very much! Well then, I got a 5 in Chem, Calc BC, CS, (maybe in gov and english), and us history. If I come in with all these credits, I am sure I will be exempted from a majority of the engineering courses. What courses would you recommend to fill in the HUGE space? I am going to major in CS. With linear and vector geo. gone, this is going to give me lots of room. Also, I asked these questions in previous posts but please try to see if you can answer them for me:</p>
<ol>
<li>How hard is it to maintain straight A’s at VA Tech for a CS major or at least say 3.85+ GPA?</li>
<li>Is GPA highly correlated to getting the best software jobs?</li>
<li>How is internship outlook for VT CS students? (for summer after freshmen year for instance)</li>
<li>How hard is it to get an internship in companies like IBM, amazon, google, microsoft? Did you hear about the Microsoft Explore Program? I mean what is the recruiting like at VTech?</li>
<li>I am in University Honors so what to think of honors version of courses? Are they really, really harder than normal courses? I mean do you think taking the honors courses is worth it and beneficial?</li>
<li>What do you think of Galileo housing? Or at least did you hear good things about it? I am planning to live in that community.</li>
<li>Finally, if you are a CS major what do you think of VTech?</li>
