@“Snowball City” @latinvibes Thanks for suggesting Harvey Mudd – I checked out their website and it seems like they have a really great CS program. My only concern is the level of difficulty; I took a look at some examples of their freshman class schedules and they all seem very intense. I’m okay with math and I enjoy CS, but I haven’t done very well in my science classes (high 80s/low 90s) so I’m sort of concerned about that, especially because it looks like their science courses are very difficult. I know most colleges require a minimum 1-2 semesters of physics specifically, but I was hoping to take just the required science courses and leave it at that so I could have time to take more humanities classes and such. At HMC, it looks like there is a very heavy course load based on the sample schedules on their website, so I’m worried I’ll only have time to do STEM courses and very few humanities ones and have less time for extracurriculars as well.
Also, I’m not the first generation to go to college, but I’m a girl if that helps? I’ve read some articles that say it can be a little easier for girls to get into CS schools (including HMC, CMU, MIT, etc.), but still difficult of course.
@circuitrider Thanks for the rec! Wesleyan looks really good!
