How well I am I suited to be CS major?

<p>Basically a fear of mine was always that my transcript showed that I am someone not suited to be a CS major, that is my math grades were low and things of that nature. Now that I have all my results in before I start apply, I can evaluate myself. I can also have the opinion of others, which is the main purpose of this post. Here are my mathematics statistics as well as some general statistics:</p>

<p>Freshman Honors Geometry: 1st sem: B- 2nd sem: C
Sophomore Honors Pre-Calc: 1st sem: A 2nd sem: A
Junior AP Calc AB : 1st sem: B 2nd sem: A</p>

<p>ACT: E:34 Math:30 R:29 S:33 Composite:32</p>

<p>Senior year I will take AP Computer Science and AP Calc BC</p>

<p>Calc AB AP Score: 5</p>

<p>UWGPA: 3.8
Rank: Top 5%</p>

<p>On the extracurricular side, I have two apps on the Google Play store and have made money off of both actually.</p>

<p>So please, feel free to give me your honest opinion as to how well suited I am to be a CS major. Also, how does this affect my overall chances if I am applying as a CS major.</p>

<p>If u enjoy CS, regardless of ur grades, ur more than equipped enough to be a CS major.</p>

<p>This. One could have whatever prior grades, but if one has a strong motivation to study CS (or whatever subject), then one’ll do well. One might struggle in the first year, if one’s background knowledge is insufficient, but one’ll catch up, if the motivation is there. Prior knowledge is irrelevant (apart from that not having the required background knowledge for courses is going to hurt), because success is usually directly related to one’s interest in the subject.</p>

<p>On the contrary, if you’re studying something that doesn’t really interest you, it would be a constant struggle.</p>
