[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this sucks for OP and I feel sorry for the kid, but if one goes to college with a sole goal of majoring in CS, an LAC shouldn’t be their first choice. If the school doesn’t work with you to come up with a plan, e.g. cross-registering at another school of the 5C, 3+2 program, or other ways, you can always transfer. Good luck![/quote] Rolling all LACs into the same boat is likely overstating the problem. Even at Pomona we don't know how many kids who want to major in CS won't be able to, and its possible that a typical entering student there is still more likely to major in CS than at, say, a large public university. It's also possible the Pomona kids will have better average outcomes than those from most universities. Yes, it's a red flag for Pomona, and I would be concerned if my child were there, but I'm not aware of this being the norm across LACs.[/quote]
