Hey, I know this isn’t relevant to your question but I’m also facing a similar dilemma! I got into SFS undeclared, but I plan on studying STIA if I go there. Throughout high school, I have really been involved in foreign language and the sciences, so I thought STIA would be a really good fit for me. However, in the long run, I can see myself pursuing a PhD or MD in the sciences, so I’m not quite sure if STIA is the best program for me. I was admitted into other schools for biology / biomedical engineering and know that going these routes will definitely lead me to getting a PhD or MD, but I really want an open / interdisciplinary undergraduate education.

With STIA, from what I saw, you have the ability to focus on cyber security or something like that? So maybe with the right internships and extracurricular involvement, you will be prepared for a tech job. I also think that it’s cool to hire people from unconventional backgrounds, which is why I find STIA so appealing, but I really don’t know what it is that graduate schools / employers want.

Sorry I didn’t really give any help, just relating to your situation ^^’
