    Not sure about out of state, but looking at the stats provided by Naviance, a tool our school is susbribed to, I should be a shoe-in. Naviance uses GPA averages from students accepted from my school to UTA, but I think their SAT scores are from the colleges.

    Actually came here first, then went there. Two diffrent communities mean two diffrent perspecitves:) Yeah, I think I'd be fine going to one of those. Looking at UMCP's acceptance it looks like they take in students with an average SAT of 1246 (im just a hair higher), and from our school an...

    Computer Science and Software Engineering

    Im still in high school so take this with a grain of salt; My understanding (from speaking with a few computer scientists) is that CS is more of a theory type major where as SE is more of a doing major. CS will show you how to find a solution to the problem and SE will show you how to actually...

    Thanks for clearing that up. Normally I would agree with a statement like that, however each application costs ~$70 and at 14 apps that's not only a lot of time, but also a lot of money to be spending. I have a fairly long list of extracurriculars, but most notably I am our school's debate...

    Thanks Asphodel, but I think I am missing something. I am not exactly sure what you're referring to by AA. Sorry, I am not too good with acronyms :P Also, I was leaning more towards a AE and CS combination and chem would be I guess a way out just in case I don't like AE (which I don't expect...

    Hey guys, Im going to be a senior this year in high school so I've started the application process this summer. I am looking to major in aerospace engineering but also have a love for computer science and chemistry. I was considering double majoring in CS and AE but I am not entirely sure...
