[quote=Anonymous]Harder to get into Engineering.  At least it used to be.  When I was there - I had friends who applied to Engineering and were only admitted into the college.  They had to take classes to get in later.

Good point to ask as things might have changed.

More advice for you - I was a CS major in the Engineering school at UVa.   And again...check on all this to see if still the same - 20 years now :)  But, all majors took the same set of core classes for two years - Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Thermondynamics, Electrical Science.  It was hard!!  In hindsight - I am a great programmer but not a great Thermo/Material Science girl.  I had friends who minored in CS - had to take all the CS classes I did but got to take some other fun classes too.  We only got 1 elective a semester and we had to take some required tough advanced math classes too - Differential Equations.  Those I liked but not sure what your kid likes.

Also, I minored in MIS at the Comm School there...I found what I learned there - databases, how to do requirements and create a real ap - to be more useful when I got out of college then a lot of my CS classes.  Something else to look into.  Comm school is very solid there as well.[/quote]
