<p>Sorry to interrupt, but is there a difference between comp. sci at CAS and comp sci at COE?</p>

3

<p>From what I've read there isn't too great a difference, except CAS students seem to take a foreign language and classes in some other more broad subject areas. Math is my worst subject, so applying to the college of engineering seems a daunting task to me. Any current CAS Comp. Sci. students out there?</p>

<p>Anybody? Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>Obedbattius, man.. just sit back and relax.</p>

<p>Just make sure you write good essays and get "touching" recommendations; the rest are just fine.</p>

<p>U got good GPA, literally 'outstanding' SAT I, reasonable SAT IIs, rigorous courses in senior year..</p>

<p>So yeah, go watch a movie with friends or something XD</p>
