Thank you. This is very helpful.
My DC teaches himself languages and coding all the time so I know he is going to love comp Sci as a major.
Is your son’s T15 school a school where he had to declare major before applying?

If a kid likes to code, that’s a sign the kid would be good at management information science and ordinary software developer jobs.

I think that the kids who’d actually enjoy a top computer science program are more the kids who do Sudoku, Rubik’s cubes and other logic puzzles for fun.

High-level academic computer science is more closely related to a philosophy department logic course than it is to developing a phone app.

So, just the fact that your son likes learning anything on his own is a great sign, but figuring whether the coding itself is a good sign depends on what the projects are. [/quote]

Funny- my son doesn’t just play with the Rubik’s cube. He’s been solving it since age 7 and he’s been in cube competitions so I guess that’s a good sign… lol [/quote]
