CS is… easy? Tell that to all of the students who fail EECS 183… let alone EECS 203 and 280.



It’s easy because all you need to do is pass. If you get a 3.0 you can still get 6 figures starting. Good luck doing that with any other major. Yes, it is very very hard to be the top of the class in CS, it’s not all that hard to pass your classes and when you do a great job is pretty much automatic. You don’t need to be the top of the class in CS, it’s totally unnecessary.



@wayneandgarth that’s one way of looking at it. The other way is that it’s unrealistic to pursue the degree if you aren’t equipped with pre college high level math, science and CS exposure.



No, it’s not unrealistic. People do it all the time with no problems. The math is not hard (much easier than a Math or Stats degree), there’s no science (yeah, you have to take chem and physics for the CSE degree, but that’s it), and you don’t need programming exposure.
