[quote=Anonymous]Really can't judge as my kids are not CS majors. My DS has a very well balanced life where he has a 4.0 and taking 17 credits each semester. He is in writing intensive classes as a humanities major and he has never had an issue. He is in a club sport and he joined a fraternity so he has had time to do all of that and keep his As.

My DD is a stem major and it is much different. She has to study and prepare for two of her classes pretty extensively. She was doing a club sport but recently quit due to the time commitment. She is also in a sorority and has a social life where she goes out on Thurs/Fri but then does work all weekend. She makes time for friends but her GPA is only just over a 3.0 so she is not managing it as successfully as she'd like.

Neither kid had any issues in HS, barely worked, even in all APs. It has been a challenge for my DD for sure, and one which she may change her major as a result.  I hope she will keep the bigger picture in mind of what she wants to do for her career but it is alot of work and not such great grades and that has been a challenge for her.
