How did you get through the gen ed science requirements in college, like chemistry?[/quote]

Very few colleges would require chemistry for a CS degree.  Often gen ed requirements for science can be fulfilled through a broad selection of course offerings or even through AP credit.  At some schools, the requirement has more to do with scientific reasoning, not a pure science course  (different answer if you're pre-med, of course).  
This is really the least of your kid's worries at this point. Gen ed requirements vary a lot from school to school, but if they can get into a college, satisfying that school's gen ed requirements shouldn't be a roadblock toward their degree. [/quote]

Actually if you do a BA thru Arts/Sciences, you may not need chemistry.  But if you do a BS or CS thru an engineering school, you will typically need Chem and Physics (at least 1 course of each).  Trade off is that the BA often requires 2 years of college level forgeign language (I personally picked the Chem and Physics over FL anyday).

But can't you place out of foreign language with a high score on AP exam?[/quote]
NP. Yes, absolutely you can, though of course you'd need to (a) take AP foreign language in high school and (b) score high enough.[/quote]
