<p>You will have the opportunity to speak with your academic advisor when you go to summer orientation for new students. I’d wait to finalize your plans for English until you arrive at VT. Son #1 was excused from first semester English and put in Honors in the Spring based solely on his SAT score. CS2104 should not be a difficult class if you are suited to the CS program. IMHO -shooting for straight As by searching for the easiest graders and the easiest classes is not the best approach for your upcoming college experience. Certainly it’s not always fair that two students take Physics and one gets stuck with a bear of a grader while the other sails through with little effort. </p>
