They do take into account the difficulty of the courses though, right? It seems silly to me that someone that might be taking way, way easier classes than me could have a higher unweighted GPA and therefore be preferred by colleges.

Hi everyone, just a quick question about college applications. I'm in a STEM program at a public school, and some of the classes that I take are weighted as AP even though they are not official AP classes. Some people that I've talked to have seemed to disregard these as just the school being...

Thanks very much for your advice and especially for that video - definitely is something I'd be interested in!

Thank all of you very much for your advice! I don't mean to sound like I think engineering is easy, by any means. I guess my problem lies more so in that I'm not really sure what specific field is for me, yet.

Thank you very much for that information! I guess a better way to phrase one of my questions I had, though is like this: Lots of people that I've talked to have told me that even in fields like Robotics which work in both software and hardware, I would still be doing one or the other. As in...

Hi, I'm a high school student in a STEM program, and as of now my primary interests have been in Computer Science, Math, and Robotics. Currently, as I research colleges, my intent is to double major in either Math and Computer Science, or in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. However...

Wow, I definitely wasn't expecting that! Thanks very much, now I'm really excited about this!

Thank both of you very much! I'll definitely look into those subjects and that course. For theoretical computer science, I guess what I'd like to know is if companies like Google or Amazon would have any interest in theoretical computer science. Is there any market for it in the United States?

Hello PF, I'm a high school student in a math and science program. I'm currently planning on doing a double major in math and computer science, and I have a couple questions. Firstly, are there areas of computer science that heavily use math and require originality? I understand that most likely...

Thank you very much for your help!

Which branch? I'm assuming college park? And do they do as well in other STEM fields as well?

Hi everyone, I'm a high schooler looking at colleges, and as I live in Maryland it would be best if I can find a suitable college in state. I plan on pursuing a double major, in Math and either Computer Science, Biochemistry, or Physics. I am unsure what kind of career I want exactly, only that...
