[quote=Anonymous]This is 100% WRONG.  Those colleges might well take him if his art is being shown in important places.  The question I have is would/will he really get into Comp Sci?

The poster indicates he got in to the school and that next he intends to be a Comp Sci major but my guess is that admission into Comp Sci is dependent on him doing well this year.

At least in my kid's HS, someone with only a couple of Honors classes would be overwhelmed by the difficulty of college.

We could also be talking to a troll in that the kid's artistic work is based in some type of computer art/design and while he has few even honors level classes, the Comp Sci department basically asked for him by name because he is famous in the proper circles.

"Yeah, there's no way those schools would take a student who never took an AP just because he was an artist. You'd still have to get through their liberal arts curriculum, full of students whose schedules were full of APs. An art school would take that student, but not a W&M, UVA, or VT. You can just go and do art at those schools."[/quote]
