Competitiveness of Computer Science

<p>Why is the computer science major so competitive? Everyone I talk to feels that the major is for "losers." I don't think I've come across a person who was interested (remotely) in the area. So why is it that it's so competitive?</p>

<p>BTW, if it were my intended major, would that decreases my chances of admission to any particular college?</p>

<p>I am applying to for Computer Science and I have heard that this is pretty competitive</p>

<p>For the rest I don’t know…</p>
