CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Happy birthday! 
Very good news! Congratulations!
I am so glad your story has a happy ending!
That’s a win!
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Congrats! Isn’t it strange how our kids’ good news is so much more exciting than our own?
Congratulations!
My best friend is a software engineer, and yes, he really isn’t an IT guru by any means. If anything, he’s an expert on the particular computer system and language he uses at work, but that is most definitely not PC or Mac…
Yea!!! Chalk one up for great student and his parent!
i like it when a thread has a happy ending
Gap year! Seriously. Take his interest in CS and work or intern for a few local companies or start ups. Let him code in the real world. He will realize his own skills, practice and improve them, and then both have a portfolio for the next year’s applications, and concrete experience which will make his collegiate class time much more productive.
(Realize this is a month old… update us…?)
Yay! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story, and especially for coming back to share good news!
@collegedad7 - she did on page 6. Good news.
IT vs CS vs EE: So I am a bit clueless on the distinctions. My understanding is that the IT person fixes the computer and many of us have some ability to do IT on our own (have gotten rid of some viruses in the past for example). CS is the programming part - writing code, algorithms, creating apps, updates to software. And is EE the hardware side of things or does that also incorporate CS? What covers expertise in various programs (beyond things like Excel or Word into more complex programs used for data analytics or design for example).
Thanks in advance! My computer science days were programming in FORTRAN and perhaps my IT experience in using things like minitab and then SAS (and now GIS and some CAD).
And congrats on Northeastern!!!
FORTRAN! Me too. I haven’t heard that word in years.
We still use a modeling program written in FORTRAN with our ancient compiler.
COngrats. NU is a great school. Expensive but great. I am glad it worked out well for him. he will love Boston.
