<p>Sorry about the slow reply guys, wrapped up finals and have been packing.</p>
<p>Not sure what kind of stats you would like, but I have a 3.4 cumulative GPA with a 3.3 Math GPA (Not including this semester as I don’t have my grades yet). Used my ACTs for admission, scored a 28 in english, 32 in math, 33 in critical reading, and a 34 in science (~32 composite). Don’t remember the writing score but it was pretty bad. I really don’t remember my SATs in detail but, if i had to ball park it, 1350s, which is my I chose to go with the ACT scores. I did, however, use my SAT IIs to be exempt from foreign languages, (scored a 740 in italian and a 760 in spanish, they were the only two subject tests I took). I believe 730/40ish up gets you exempt, not entirely sure.</p>
<p>As far as AP goes, I hated them and only took two because I was forced to by my school. I think the entire philosophy of AP courses is stupid, and if I had the choice, I wouldn’t have taken any. Having said that, I took AP European History and AP English Language and Composition. I scored a 3 on both. I started cramming the night before, after doing nothing all year long for AP euro. I finished the AP english test in less than half the allotted time.</p>
<p>Let me know if you need anything else.</p>
<p>Deathblade, that is a very difficult question to answer because I don’t know what the comp sci minor teaches you in detail nor do I know what you consider to be “simple applications”, nor do I know what you need to know to make games.</p>
<p>I can say the following though; the minor gives you an introduction to programming, followed stepping it up to Java, a more “useful” language and possibly an introduction to object oriented programming. Then, you’ll tacke some basic data structures, and, if I’m not mistaken, you wrap it up with a course on assembly language. Not sure how in-depth any of this goes, as I have only taken one course which is the pre-requisite for the intro comp sci course (they make you take intro to programming before intro to comp sci if you have no programming experience, which I did not).</p>
<p>Based on that, I would say you probably can write a myriad of simple applications, in either python, java, or whatever assembly language they use. As far as games, it depends on your definition but probably not. That’s very specialized knowledge.</p>
<p>You could write a text craps game, but you won’t know how to make any flash games or probably have enough knowledge to code a real video game.</p>
<p>Hope, that answers your question.</p>
