[quote=Anonymous]Some colleges have requirements about computer science and you cannot just declare it as a major. For example: VT: Must have a 3.0 GPA to get first pick at major UMD: Must have a C- in CMSC131 (object oriented programming I (JAVA)), C- in CMSC132 (object oriented programming I (JAVA)), and C- in Math 140 (Calc I) and 2.0 by end of 45 credits to be CS major. Here is my question: If a student took AP Calc AB and got a 5 and AP Computer Science A and got a 5, would it make sense to NOT provide the AP scores and take the credit, but instead sit for the classes in college to get the A or B so they have a better chance of getting into Computer Science? What would be the downside of doing that? Doesn't it make more sense to have 2 easy classes to get you to your goal of getting in the major? [/quote]
