<p>I’m worried about 2 things here:</p>
<p>1) Will my GPA, which is a 3.2, affect my chances of getting in? My SAT scores are pretty high though (2270).
2) What if I did not get into a computer science related university and thus am not “enrolled at a university in a computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or related area department” as specified in the requirements FAQ? This most likely won’t be a problem but just in case. What if I am in an engineering department (which is closely related imo)?
3) I pretty much have no prior computer science experience. I heard the interview gets specific?</p>
<p>Prep for the interview (what are you doing now? Spend some time with Code Academy!). Do a computer project of your own devising.</p>
<p>Let them decide whether or not you meet the entry criteria. Worst case, you will not be accepted.</p>
<p>@ItsJustSchool How should I prep for the interview?</p>
<p>If the interview gets very specific and you have no experience, you may want to do an example project in Code Academy or other lesson. You may wish to take a few days to get some experience. It is surprising how much you can learn in just a few days. Maybe if you need some ideas and you find nothing by doing internet searches, you could use an AP Comp Sci study guide. Even a little bit of experience in structuring a simple program will go a very long way.</p>
