Hi Coloradomama and Bisharp101, My son went ahead and applied to Berkeley, Santa Cruz, UCLA, Irvine and San Diego.He may apply to Stanford, also, even though we know that is a shot in the dark.
My son’s passion for foreign languages attracted him to Georgia Tech because of their extensive study abroad program where he could do an international focus while studying computer science. No other CS program offers an international focus program. Students in the program have a choice to study in France, Switzerland, Japan as well as other countries. My son is attracted to the universities near Silicon Valley because he is very interested in start-ups. His applications are in so I guess it is the waiting game now. Unfortunately for GT he has to wait until mid July to find out. He has a 4.0 and all the required prerequisite courses but it is easy to lose out on a technicality (at Berkeley, especially). And then there’s those pesky essays. Who knows if they will like what he wrote. Thanks to all for their encouragement.
