[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Practically all CS departments (public, private) have been seeing a decline in [url=https://marketviewedu.com/blog/why-is-computer-science-enrollment-declining-and-what-comes-next/]CS applications[/url] that started in 2024.  Numbers from EA interest for the Fall 2026 cohort indicate a further drop.

This seems to be the year to get into CS programs.

Hold on.  Depends on the school.  CMU, MIT, CalTech, etc. are still receiving record numbers of applications for CS.  It is still the TOUGHEST admit.[/quote]

What you say is still true, but there’s a more important part of the reality that you are omitting.  Our DC graduated from CMU 2 years ago (non-CS degree) and none of his friends (who did graduate w/ CS degrees) have jobs - they’re now looking at grad school as all those lovely entry level jobs have all but disappeared and been replaced with AI.

The first jobs are still "entry level" they are just different jobs. Entry level literally means the first job you get in the company at the bottom of the ladder. The ladder is still there and it still has a bottom rung they need to fill every year.[/quote]
