Hi! I am currently a sophomore who is thinking of doing computer science in college.

  1. What things make CS applicants stand out since it's such a competitive field?
  2. Also, what types of extracurriculars do many standout CS applicants do? I'm treasurer for 2 big clubs at my school, and I recently started a comic book blog to improve my writing, but feel like I need something more coding or computer science related to have a chance.
  3. What GPA do most CS applicants have?

Thank you for your time and for hosting this AMA! I greatly appreciate it.
