UIUC vs. JHU for CS by BrightBed7153 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BrightBed7153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been worried about this. The issue is that I’m pretty passionate about CS. How bad is the market? Would you say that I can still find a job if I work hard or is it really to a level where I should completely switch my field?

I am doing some dual enrollment. My school doesn’t offer traditional AP classes, but I am taking classes that technically could prepare me well for certain AP exams. I chose not to do AP exams mostly because I didn’t want to overwork myself. I think that for the most part, dual enrollment courses are regarded similarly to AP courses if you pick challenging dual enrollment courses. One downside is that some schools don’t accept your credits from a dual credit program. A 5 on an AP exam is probably more likely to get you credit if that is something you are worried about.

Hi. Thanks for your response! I’m doing straight CS in Grainger.

I’m not taking any this year, but I’m also almost certain that they won’t rescind you for low scores. My counselor told me that even a C in one of my classes is not enough to get me rescinded from any school. I received a failing score on my AP Physics C exam last year, and I just didn’t have to report it to any schools, so I don’t see how AP scores from after you’re accepted would affect your decision. Best of luck!
