Mid January is not late in the game to update colleges. And technically, an applicant IS supposed to inform the target colleges of changes in the curriculum. Someone can go look at the Common App, what it says.

Nor is OP going to tell them he didn’t “think through” his schedule. And in this day and age, sending out multiple emails isn’t some crazy challenge. One carefully worded explanation, sent to multiple addresses. Basic computer literacy.

It’s not about “passion” being needed, either. It just has to make sense to the reviewers- and imo, done right, it can. There are connections between CS and graphic design.

Why so many want you to stick with Spanish? Boils down to little more than opinions. And some fear. The irony is so many kids misunderstand what’s a legit choice. We’ve seen this on CC. They “want” to take some random class- maybe CNA training or balancing your checkbook or pet therapy (courses not even offered in the academic track. They’re often geared toward kids not planning on college)…and expect a tippy top to be impressed.

Good luck, @VectorctOS. See what the GC says, they’ll have a better perspective. Then make the decision you are most comfortable with.
