<p>Hi, so I got into UCSB honors for computer science (gonna be a freshman) and I have a couple of questions regarding my situation.</p>

<p>So basically I've been programming for fun (yeah, go ahead and laugh) since I was in like, 7th grade. I have an internship at this company in the Silicon Valley as a software engineer. A lot of the people there say that I probably already know the first two years of Berkeley computer science or something like that. I even got offered a full-time job there paying $70k+ a year but I turned it down because I want a degree.</p>

<p>So obviously I don't really want to waste two years of my life (and college tuition) relearning stuff that I already know, so is there a way for meto just skip the first two years of computer science? Like the College of Creative Studies or something, I'm not sure.</p>

<p>yes! go CCS! you fit the kind of person they want to the letter. there is a professor named Phill Conrad who you can contact (see his webpage for email) re: CCS computer science. he is very busy though, so keep that in mind as youre waiting for a response…</p>

<p>be aware they will still make you fulfill the credits for CS 16, 24, 32, etc in some way or another, but at a more accelerated pace…</p>
