[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.. Thanks for all the responses.

UVA is one of the schools on his list and like someone said, for the right kid the placements seems to be good.  The discussions we are having is about which route - School of Engg. vs Arts/sciences.  Same issue at most other schools.   [/quote]

I work in tech with many computer science graduates. The ones that get the furthest tend to be well-rounded and at some point shift from the technical to the business side.  For this reason, I'd generally say BA route.[/quote]

My friend also works in tech in CA, and recommended that my kid think of a suitable double major to make him more interesting/well-rounded. My friend majored in CS and philosophy (which includes a lot of logic). If you do Engineering at VT say to get into CS, you have to do chemistry and physics (that you may never use again) to get into the engineering program (or otherwise pass the AP in those subjects in HS). My kid is doing other subjects that complement artificial intelligence under a B.Sc. [/quote]
