<p>Greekfire, I am beginning to suspect you are more of a writer than a cs type. I’m not a computer scientist, but my son is a cs major with a particular interest in AI. His course load is very time-consuming, and I’m afraid he is finding it difficult to spread himself as thin as he had hoped to. </p>
<p>I can tell you are an exceptional student, and perhaps you can swing a real dual major of the type you are contemplating, but I think it may prove to be quite a challenge.</p>
<p>At some schools, there are cs majors in Arts and Science rather than in engineering. The course load may be less time-consuming, perhaps (just a guess).</p>
<p>Being a female in cs will put you in the minority. There is some debate about whether or not it gives you a boost in admissions. It won’t hurt, for sure.</p>
